The Rainbow Comes and Goes
A Mother and Son on Life, Love, and Loss
When his mother turned 91, Cooper started a year-long correspondence with her. The letters become a frank, tender reckoning between mother and son.
When his mother, the artist and heiress Gloria Vanderbilt, turned ninety-one and fell seriously ill, Cooper realised how much he still did not know about her. He proposed a year of unguarded emails, and this book collects the conversation that followed: about her extraordinary life, her marriages and losses, and the distance that had grown between them. It is a warm, candid portrait of a mother and son finally talking honestly while there is still time.
