"A rector's wife, exhausted by the poverty, realizes she is willing to do whatever it takes to save her children and herself."@en
""Anna Bouverie is the Rector's wife. She irons his surplices (badly); delivers the parish newsletter; scrimps to get by on the pittance the church pays while keeping up appearances for the gossipy villagers. She rarely complains and rarely rebels. But now as she watches her children do without, as her husband withdraws further into his work, and her frustration mounts into fury, Anna comes to realize that she will do whatever it takes to save herself."--Page 4 of cover."
"For twenty years Anna Bouverie, as a priest's wife (9,000 pounds a year and a redbrick rectory that looked like a bus shelter) had served God and the parish in a diversity of ways. She had organised the deanery suppers, made cakes for the Brownies' Easter Cake Bake, delivered parish magazines, washed and ironed her husband's surplices (not altogether perfectly according to Miss Dunstable), grown her own vegetables and clothed herself and her children in left-over jumble-sale items. When her husband failed to gain promotion to archdeacon and retreated into isolated bitterness, and the bullying of her younger daughter at the local comprehensive reached unendurable proportions, Anna suddenly rebelled. Taking a job in the local supermarket she earned money, a sense of her own worth, the shocked disapproval of the parish, and the icy fury of her husband. As her loneliness and isolation increased, she was observed with passionate interest by three significant men, each of whom was to play a role in the part-tragic part-triumphant blossoming of Anna's life."@en
"Anna Bouverie who has spent 20 years scrimping and saving to raise a family and support her husband Peter's parish invites the shocked disapproval of the parish and the icy fury of her husband when she takes a job at a supermarket in order to raise money for her family."@en
"Anna Bouverie has doggedly performed her marital and social duties as the wife of a parish rector until a personal revelation fills her with the overpowering urge to save herself from her own well-circumscribed life."
"Anna Bouverie is the Rector's wife. She irons his surplices (badly), delivers the parish newsletter, scrimps to get by on the pittance the church pays while keeping up appearances for gossipy villagers. This is an exposition of a marriage worn threadbare by the grind of daily living and unfilled expectations."@en
"After twenty years of marriage, a priest's wife rebels and takes a job at a supermarket and gains a sense of her own worth, but the disapproval of her husband and parish."@en
"Een niet meer zo jonge domineesvrouw in een Engels dorpje raakt in een identiteitscrisis als haar man een vurig begeerde positie misloopt."
