The fourth of Joanna Trollope's shrewd, compassionate studies of
English village life and family discord. Anna Bouverie, reluctant,
rebellious wife of a country rector, cribb'd, cabin'd and confined
by an untenable marriage to a disappointed man, at 42 breaks free,
to the undisguised disapproval of her peers, to acquire her own
eventual, painful, fulfilment. Joanna Trollope grows better with
every book. (Kirkus UK)
Joanna Trollope has the priceless gift of drawing characters so
clearly, and cleanly, that within half a dozen pages, you feel you
have known them all your life - and The Rector's Wife is no
exception. A thought-provoking, emotionally-charged and, at times,
wonderfully witty, read bringing to light the trials and
tribulations of marriage - and the struggle when it doesn't give
you what you need. Perfect for readers of Elizabeth Noble, Erica
James and Amanda Prowse. 'Elegantly written' -- The Sunday Times
'Compulsive reading' -- The Times 'Prepare to be wittily and wisely
entertained by an exceptional writer' -- Daily Mail 'A wonderful
read, just read it and enjoy' -- ***** Reader review 'Just fabulous
- what more can I say?' -- ***** Reader review 'A must-read' --

IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO FIND YOUR OWN WAY For twenty years, Anna
Bouverie, as a priest's wife, has served God and the parish in a
variety of ways. She has baked for the Brownies, delivered parish
magazines, washed and ironed her husband's surplices and clothed
herself and her children in jumble-sale items. When her husband
fails to gain promotion to archdeacon and retreats into isolated
bitterness, and the bullying of her daughter at the local
comprehensive reaches an intolerable level, Anna rebels. She takes
a job in the local supermarket where she earns her own money, her
sense of self-worth, the shocked disapproval of the parish and the
icy fury of her husband. She also attracts the passionate interest
of three very different men, each of whom was to play a significant
part in the blossoming of her life...
