Review 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
From the Publisher Founded in 1906 by J.M. Dent, the Everyman Library has always tried to make the best books ever written available to the greatest number of people at the lowest possible price. Unique editorial features that help Everyman Paperback Classics stand out from the crowd include: a leading scholar or literary critic's introduction to the text, a biography of the author, a chronology of her or his life and times, a historical selection of criticism, and a concise plot summary. All books published since 1993 have also been completely restyled: all type has been reset, to offer a clarity and ease of reading unique among editions of the classics; a vibrant, full-color cover design now complements these great texts with beautiful contemporary works of art. But the best feature must be Everyman's uniquely low price. Each Everyman title offers these extensive materials at a price that competes with the most inexpensive editions on the market-but Everyman Paperbacks have durable binding, quality paper, and the highest editorial and scholarly standards.

23 of 25 people found the following review helpful. Von Arnim's witty portrayal of fin-de-siecle married life. By Noreen O'Connor This is one of Von Arnim's very best novels, full of surprising wit and sometimes caustic criticism of the lonely existence of an intelligent British woman in a turn-of-the-century aristocratic German household. In particular, the childbirth scenes are chilling, and reminiscent of Charlotte Perkins Gilman's The Yellow Wallpaper, though Von Arnim typically treats the topic with more humor. The ending is as brilliant as those of her contemporary Edith Wharton.
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Slow at times. Don't give up. By Amazon customer The main character here, a young woman named Ingeborg, was the daughter of a strict and domineering father, a Bishop. She was raised to always follow the proper etiquette of Christian behavior and proper society. She did as she was told and never questioned or disobeyed her father. But sometimes she wanted to be free - at least for a short while - of her father's control and the confinement of her household. So, when it became necessary for her to travel to London for a week to have some dental work done, she was full of anticipation. And when she saw a poster in a shop window advertising a tour leaving for Lucerne for seven days, she impulsively joined it. It changed her life forever.At times, I found the writing here a bit repetitive - a bit drawn out. Halfway through, I almost put it down. But I read elsewhere that I must not miss the last part of the book. They were right. Make sure you finish this book. What begins as just another good book by Von Arnim becomes a brilliant book by it's ending. And do read the introduction (although I prefer to read it after I have read the book). You learn that much of this story mirrors the Author's own life. I couldn't get this story out of my head for days.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. The Pastor's Wife By Cristina S Gheorghe Elizabeth von Arnim , known to readers for her Enchanted April which was turned into a delightful movie a few years ago, succeeds in writing a feminist take on a typical Jane Austen situation, dealing with the quintessential career of young women at the end of the 19th century: marriage. In this entertaining novel, the sheltered young daughter of an English country pastor is wooed with extreme speed by a decisive German pastor, gets married against her family's wishes and expectations ( and maybe even her own...), and shortly after her wedding meets a famous and self-centered artist who decides, again without consulting her, to make her his muse and lover. All the men portrayed in Arnim's novel with a subtle and witty brush are revealed to be monuments of selfishness; their lack of attention to their spouses, daughters or lovers reaches absurdity! The young woman's growth into a sharper awareness of her submissive position and her subsequent shaking free of the patriarchal shackles is followed by the readers with satisfaction and approval.This book is an extremely pleasant read.
