The Pastor's Wife by Elizabeth Von Arnim
Ingeborg Bullivant, the put-upon daughter of the Bishop of Redchester, suddenly becomes possessed by the demon Rebellion and takes a week's tour to Lucerne. Constantly in the company of a ponderous German pastor, she is put into a quandary when he proposes marriage. Faced with her father's wrath on her return, however, Ingeborg accepts her Herr Dremmel with simple relief. But the role of a pastor's wife in East Prussia is not as Ingeborg had imagined, for she has merely exchanged one set of rules for another ...
Elizabeth von Arnim is a mistress of irony * Lisa St Aubin de Teran *
[von Arnim] was keenly aware of the powerlessness of an intelligent woman in a male-dominated world * Kate Saunders *
A particular kind of witty and well constructed fiction, a sort of sparkling Euclid, which nobody else can touch * Rebecca West *
Worldly, sharp, witty.. Try to write like that, and her gift will seem very enviable and elusive * Terence de Vere White *
