Download The Rector's Wife AudioBook Free
For 20 years, Anna Bouverie has been the dutiful better half of a town rector, scraping by on his pitiful salary, making cakes for the chapel bake sales, ironing her husband's surplices, and clothing herself and her children in hand-me-downs. But when an expected campaign to archdeacon comes through, her man retreats into bitterness. Confronted with isolation, the lost desire of a much better life, and the bullying of her little princess at school, Anna finally rebels. She requires a job in a supermarket, earning money and a sense of her own price, across the disapproval of the parish and the icy fury of her man. At the same time, she is seen with ardent interest by three men, each of whom plays a role in the part-tragic, part-triumphant blossoming of her life.
