"As Britain entered lockdown in the spring of 2020; drawings; paintings and messages proliferated in its windows and gardens; signs of the human desire to communicate as face-to-face contact became impossible. When restrictions temporarily eased; writer James Attlee began ringing doorbells in his hometown of Oxford. On doorsteps and park benches; on council estates and among genteel terraces; he recorded the voices of those briefly emerging from isolation. He won the trust of rainbow painters and anti-vaxxers; a Covid nurse; an LGBTQ+ artist; a VE Day celebrator and Black Lives Matter protesters; as well as frontline workers in a bakery and a supermarket. Their words; Attlee's pithy observations and sixteen pages of his photographs make Under the Rainbow a unique record of an extraordinary year and a tribute to creativity and resilience." -- Amazon
