“I was delighted by The Pastor’s Wife.” The Captive Reader

'She has a wild sense of comedy and a vision continually thwarted though it was of potential happiness' Penelope Mortimer

'A particular kind of witty and well constructed fiction, a sort of sparkling Euclid, which nobody else can touch' - Rebecca West

"A revelation in their wit and... dry, unsentimental treatment of the relationship between men and women." Barbara Pym

THE PASTOR’S WIFE is the story of Ingeborg who on a trip to London, finally free from the confines of her father the Bishop, daringly books a trip to Lucerne Switzerland. There she meets a German Pastor who proposes marriage. As they say . . . out of the frying pan into the fire.

Elizabeth von Arnim was called ‘the smartest woman of her century’ by H. G. Wells, and her books have been referred to on ‘Downtown Abbey’. She was voted the most neglected female author in a poll by Radio 4 listeners.
