A review by daed_eskai
The Rainbow by D.H. Lawrence
4.0
This book is a great example of modern literature for me. Not in the same way that Joyce or Woolf or Faulkner are modern. It's form and structure is actually quite straight forward and simple. But the subject and the way they are presented are very unique.
It has one of the best depiction of the individuality of female characters that I have encountered. Free spirited women with desires that are portrayed without shame. With goals and the will to reach them.
The reationships in this book are not perfect and that is perfect! Sexuality play an important role in every day life, as it should. Marriages are not romantic fantastical worlds in which women must sacrifice themselves... I admire the bold reality of Lawrence story...
And alongside all these great stories... You get to the beautiful writing... Oh my god! I enjoyed reading the way the author described everything... It was amazing. And it reaches its peak in the last chapter. And what a masterpiece of a chapter it was!
