(Lawrence Herbert) The Rainbow Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rainbow James Adcock "The Rainbow" by D. H. Lawrence is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative primarily revolves around the Brangwen family, particularly focusing on Tom Brangwen, his marriage to a Polish lady, and the dynamic of their lives at Marsh Farm. The story delves into themes of personal growth, the complexities of human relationships, and the societal roles of men and women within a rural setting. The opening of "The Rainbow" introduces the Brangwen family, who have deep roots in their pastoral home at Marsh Farm, where they live in connection with the land and the cycles of nature. Tom Brangwen, the central figure, is depicted as a hardworking farmer contented with his agricultural life, while his wife yearns for a more expansive existence and better opportunities for their children. As the narrative unfolds, it hints at the tension between traditional rural life and the aspirations for a wider horizon, particularly through Tom's desire for connection with a foreign woman who seeks to understand her place in a culture that seems alien to her. This initial portion sets the stage for exploring the intersection of personal ambition, love, and the intricate dance of domesticity against the backdrop of an evolving society.
