The Pastor's Wife
In Elizabeth von Arnim's humourous novel, "The Pastor's Wife", the main character Ingeborg Bullivant goes on a spontaneous trip to Lucerne and returns engaged to a Prussian pastor.
However, her new life as a wife is restrictive, and when the dashing artist Ingram comes into her life and indulges her with musings about Italy, wanderlust temps Ingeborg for a second time.
This warm and witty novel is based on von Arnim's own first marriage and will be enjoyed by fans of `Eat, Pray, Love'.
Elizabeth von Arnim was an English novelist - a cousin of the New Zealand-born writer Katherine Mansfield - born as Mary Annette Beauchamp in Australia in 1866. She married a German aristocrat and her earliest written works are set in Germany.
Von Arnim launched her career as a writer with her satirical and semi-autobiographical work `Elizabeth and Her German Garden', published anonymously in 1898. Although she was known by the name May in her early life, when she began writing, her success as `Elizabeth' meant that her writings were ascribed to the name Elizabeth von Arnim.
