Set in rural France, the story is of the two girls trying to make the best of their situation living with their Maman who is heavily pregnant and unable to cope with day to day life, due partly to her condition, but mainly due to her overwhelming grief. When I first picked up The Night Rainbow and realised that the story was narrated by a five year old child, I was initially sceptical as I am not always fond of this style of writing, however, I quickly fell in love with the main character, Pea, and her younger sister, Margot who are trying to 'find their mother's happiness' after she has lost both a baby and a husband in quick succession.
