Book Review of The Rector's Wife

The Rector's Wife
The Rector's Wife
Author: Joanna Trollope
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Hardcover
reviewed on


I found the topic to be very interesting. I never gave it much thought as to what it must be like to be the wife of a rector, minister or church leader. The characters are believable as are their struggles. The children of the rector feel that they have to behave above board. The wife feels she has to be this perfect little wife who supports her husband. The members of the church think they own the rector and that they have a right to judge the family and their private decisions.
