The rector's wife

About this book

For 20 years Anna Bouverie, a vicar's wife, had served God in a diversity of ways. She has been everything a priest's wife should be. She irons his surplices (badly), delivers the parish newsletter, and scrimps to get by on a pittance, all the while keeping up appearances. Struggling to get by on the pittance salary that the church pays her husband,she becomes embittered when she sees her children going hungry. But, she rarely complains and never rebels. When her husband, Peter, fails to gain promotion to Archdeacon and retreated into isolated bitterness, Anna realizes that she's willing to do whatever it takes to save herself... and finds the inner strength to fix their situation. She rebels, and tastes independence for the first time since she left university. Anna took a job in the local supermarket. Soon she found herself admired by three very different men.
