Ordinary time

£20.00

Ann is a reluctant Vicar’s wife. She loves her family and tries hard to do her duty, but is beginning to wonder how she ended up here. Her husband is too preoccupied with the needs of his congregation to notice those closer to home and her son is asking questions she is struggling to answer. When her brother makes a cry for help, Ann travels from Cornwall to be with him in London. And then she meets Jamie, and a new world unexpectedly opens up. Ann knows what the older women of the parish would say – she’s made her bed and now she has to lie in it. But temptation is easier to avoid than it is to resist.

Description

‘There are already three of us in this marriage. I’m not sure there is room for a fourth . . .’

Ann is a reluctant Vicar’s wife. She tries her best but her husband only has eyes for God, her son is asking questions she struggles to answer, and it is all too easy to displease the congregation. It may only be a matter of time before she makes the headlines of the local gazette: Vicar’s wife gets giggles in church. Vicar’s wife refuses to bake scones. Vicar’s wife does not care about other people.

When her brother needs her help, Ann travels from Cornwall up to London. There she meets Jamie, and a new world unexpectedly opens up. Ann knows what the older women of the parish would say – she’s made her bed and now she has to lie in it. But once she has been led into temptation, it may prove impossible to resist . . .

The funny and heartbreaking new novel from Sunday Times bestselling author Cathy Rentzenbrink, Ordinary Time is an unforgettable story of the joys and sorrows of everyday life; one that asks big questions about friendship and marriage, forgiveness and redemption, and the real meaning of love.
