The Rector's Wife

The read

The series ran 1 season across 4 episodes and has finished, so there is no cliffhanger risk.

Synopsis

Three-part dramatization of the novel by Joanna Trollope. A clergyman's wife shocks the church establishment and infuriates her husband by taking a job in a supermarket. She attracts the passionate interest of three very different men: a newly-appointed archdeacon; his younger brother, a philosopher and academic; and a wealthy businessman new to the village.
