| Summary | "Sateenkaari: Romaani" by Rex Beach is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story seems to revolve around themes of wealth, power dynamics, and the intricacies of love and betrayal within a rich agricultural estate in Cuba. Key characters include don Estevan Varona, who is dealing with the loss of his wife, and his children, who are caught in a web of familial strife influenced by their father's secrets and the societal pressures of their time. The opening of the novel introduces the setting with a rich description of the Yumuri valley, often referred to as the 'paradise valley.' We learn of don Estevan's tragic loss, as his wife passes away after giving birth to twins, raising questions about inheritance and the future of his family. Tension builds as Estevan grapples with his grief while facing various characters that influence his and his children's lives, setting the stage for unfolding dramas surrounding hidden treasures, social aspirations, and the complexities of human relationships in a colonial context.
