'Pastor's Wife' Summary
'Pastor's Wife' follows the journey of the unnamed protagonist, a young woman who, after a seemingly idyllic childhood, finds herself trapped in an unfulfilling marriage to a German pastor. Feeling stifled by the constraints of traditional marriage and societal expectations, she begins to question the established norms. The story charts her journey as she seeks to break free from these bonds, exploring her burgeoning sense of independence and finding joy in the simple pleasures of life. Through her experiences, she encounters a world of both beauty and disillusionment, navigating the complexities of love, friendship, and the shifting landscape of women's roles in the early 20th century.
