The Rector's Wife

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 Rectors 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 doesnt give you what you need. Perfect for readers of Elizabeth Noble, Erica James and Amanda Prowse.
