Product Description:
Lush with religious and metaphysical imagery, this is the story of three generations of the Brangwen family, set against the decline of the rural English midlands. It peers into a family's sexual mores, exposing the sexual dynamics of marriage and physical love.
Book Description:
D. H. Lawrence started 'The Sisters' in 1913, wrote four different versions and claimed to have discarded 'quite a thousand pages' before completing The Rainbow in 1915. Mark Kinkead-Weekes gives the composition history and collates the surviving states of the text to assess the damage done to Lawrence's great novel.

I didn't find this book enjoyable, too much repetition for one reason and being a bit too dramatic for my taste, but I have to say it is definitely worth reading because of the complexities of its characters. The multiple protagonists with the most interesting and significant developement of Ursula's character seem to present differences in gender and in social/cultural contexts. I am particularly impressed by the depictions of female psychology that seem very sharp, insightful and modern. The ... Read More

Spanning three full generations, this book focuses primarily on the last generation's woman who was an esprit de vivre - emotionally, mentally and sexually.

The Rainbow is one of those great, startling books that exceeds its setting to provide universal lessons to the reader. These lessons are in the form of questions social, political, and of course philosophical, and while it does help to know some of the background Lawrence was working with to get the most out of the Rainbow, this isn't necessary, as my own readership can attest to. The Woman's Rights movement and post-colonial/industrial themes in the Rainbow are not necessarily as heavy when compared ... Read More

This book really awakened my sexuality back in college. I was lifted and washed away on a tide of passionate longing, straight into the arms of a cute road crew guy who had been working on my street that summer. Before I read it, I was just another shy nerd. Afterward! I became the audacious sex goddess that you see today! O, beware this magick book, for it will unlock you!!!

I had actually never read any of Lawrence's works before, though I had heard much praise about him. Saga type stories tend to interest me in the way you can trace growth in characters and really get into them, so I thought I would give this a try. So glad I did! Lawrence writes with some of the most beautifully lyrical and lush wording. Even when speaking of the dirty coal mines of England, you can almost feel the grime on your own skin, or when Ursula travels to the shore and plays in the surf you feel ... Read More
