Book Description
Jane is a New Yorker to the core, city-based and career-driven. But when her teenage daughter Natalie falls in with the wrong crowd at her Manhattan school, Jane's British husband Andrew decides to relocate from new York to a small village on Britain's Cumbrian coast, buying a vast and crumbling former vicarage. Jane hates everything about her new life: the silence, the solitude, the utter isolation. Natalie is no better, and their son Ben struggles in his new school. Even worse, Jane's difficulties create new tensions between her and Andrew. When Jane finds a scrap of an old shopping list, she becomes fascinated with Alice James, who lived in the vicarage decades before. The Vicar's Wife takes readers on an emotional journey as two very different women learn the desires of their hearts - and confront their deepest fears.

Amid the grandeur of the remote Pacific Northwest stands Kingcome, a village so ancient that, according to Kwakiutl myth, it was founded by the two brothers left on earth after the great flood. The Native Americans who still live there call it Quee, a place of such incredible natural richness that hunting and fishing remain primary food sources. But the old culture of totems and potlatch is being replaces by a new culture of prefab housing and alcoholism. Kingcome's younger generation is disenchanted and alienated from its heritage. And now, coming upriver is a young vicar, Mark Brian, on a journey of discovery that can teach him—and us—about life, death, and the transforming power of love.

Book Description
When a new vicar arrives in a small village, she is not what was expected. In the first place, she is a she. Not only that, she is very young, very pretty, and Irish. The previous vicar had left in a hurry and Annie O'Donnell soon begins to understand why. Fresh from Cambridge, where she thrived on the intellectual stimulation, Annie, who grew up in Belfast, finds village life a culture shock. She has a missionary's heart and thinks she would be happy suffering in a tent in the heat of Africa, but surely not in an English village with swirls of difficult people. Dealing with the idiosyncrasies and politics of a small, ingrown church is challenging enough, but a handsome, young widower to whom she's attracted complicates her life. And, when a young woman who has psychological problems needs a home, the large vicarage where Annie lives by herself seems the perfect shelter. However, she resists Annie's efforts to befriend her and keeps disappearing. A fellow student from Cambridge, who is moving up fast in theological circles, begins to pursue Annie, providing her with the kind of environment she is accustomed to. He is a curate in the Anglican church, brilliantly intellectual, and surely the perfect partner for her, sent from God. Meanwhile, the widower, Matthew has distanced himself. Tension is created by the two men in Annie's life along with Julie, the girl she is trying to help, who has some dark secrets she is unwilling to share. The sociological problems of a small church in a small town, plus the psychological problems of the young woman Annie tries to help, add depth and conflict to the plot.
