Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Luke's Wife" by Evelyn R. Garratt is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Rachel, a young woman freshly married to Luke Greville, a clergyman. As they start their married life together, Rachel struggles to find her place in her new role and comes to terms with the challenges of adapting to Luke's world filled with parish responsibilities and the ever-watchful presence of her mother-in-law, Mrs. Greville. At the start of the novel, the couple is depicted on their idyllic honeymoon, filled with love and music, but soon the reality of their new life sets in. As Rachel transitions from her mother’s care to her own responsibilities, she feels inadequate, especially under her mother-in-law's critical gaze. The opening chapters explore the dynamics in their household, Rachel's feelings of insecurity in her capabilities as a clergyman's wife, and her desire to support Luke in his work while wrestling with her sense of identity and jealousy. Through tender moments and burgeoning conflicts, the beginning sets the stage for Rachel's journey towards self-acceptance and understanding her husband's work amidst their romantic aspirations.
