The Wife's Promise

More about the book

The story of two wives--told over 70 years apart--tell a story about courage, finding a home, and how an unexpected connection can change your life forever. England, 1939: When Alice marries kind-hearted vicar David on the eve of war, it means leaving her old life behind and moving into the draughty vicarage in the beautiful, remote village of Goswell, Cumbria. Though desperately homesick, Alice is determined to make a new life for herself and her husband. Now: When Jane and her family move to the small village of Goswell where her husband grew up, she's afraid she might have made a huge mistake. Their new home--in what had once been the vicarage--feels a million miles from their previous fast-paced life in New York City, and Jane struggles with empty days that seem lonely and purposeless. -- Adapted from publisher's description
