The rainbow—shimmering, elusive, the epitome of an ephemeral delight—is never just one thing. An optical phenomenon of water and light, it is unique to the viewer; two people standing side by side each see their own rainbow. And across time, it has become a repository of strange and gleaming lore.
In this book, Ellen Freeman shines a light through droplets of science, folklore, literature, and history to build a rainbow of her own, a polychromatic expression of memory and the many meanings held in one shimmering arc.
