When Tom Brangwen marries a Polish widow and adopts her daughter as his own, he is unprepared for the conflict and passion that erupt. Suffused with biblical imagery, The Rainbow addresses searching human issues in a setting of precise and vivid detail.]]> 31491 42 2337578 1961 The Rainbow total:1377|5:305|4:505|3:376|2:128|1:63| 1377 4992 2354 100 17623 3.57 20513 1563 27486878 890188 31491 0451530306 9780451530301 81 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168276995m/31491.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1168276995s/31491.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/31491.The_Rainbow 3.66 1131 1961 4 2 false Tue Jul 15 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 16 20:55:22 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 16 21:00:33 -0700 2008 more...]]> 48455380 133307 1237122 0375759654 9780375759659 4 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1182148904m/1237122.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1182148904s/1237122.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1237122.The_Rainbow 3.73 30 The Rainbow is the epic story of three generations of the Brangwens, a Midlands family. A visionary novel, considered to be one of Lawrence’s finest, it explores the complex sexual and psychological relationships between men and women in an increasingly industrialized world. “Lives are separate, but life is continuous—it continues in the fresh start by the separate life in each generation,” wrote F.
