Excerpt from Rue With a Difference
'We have a great deal more kindness than is ever spoken. Maugre all the selfishness that chills like east winds the world, the whole human family is bathed with an element of love like a fine ether.' - Emerson.
'I Must confess, my dear Margaret, that I do not understand Valerie, - a complex personality like hers always baffles me,' and here Mrs. Hammond paused and stirred her tea daintily; she was much given to these staccato pauses; they were effective and served to accentuate a point more clearly.
Mrs. Hammond was having tea with her friend Mrs. Walcott at the Deanery. Evensong was just over at the Cathedral, and the two ladies had met in the porch, where Mrs. Walcott had given her invitation.
They had been schoolfellows in the old days, and though there had been no special tie of sympathy between them, yet when Dr. Walcott was appointed to the Deanery of Wycombe, and Canon Hammond took up his residence in the close, Mrs. Hammond had renewed the old intimacy with her dear Margaret with affectionate eagerness, to which Mrs. Walcott had responded with a tolerant kindness that bordered on indifference.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex and often conflicting emotions a woman named Valerie faces as she comes to terms with the recent death of her husband, Canon Thurston. The author delves into Valerie's past, revealing her idyllic childhood and her eventual marriage to the much older Canon Thurston, a union that was initially filled with love and happiness. However, as time passed, Valerie began to realize the vast differences in their personalities and expectations. The author skillfully portrays the inner turmoil and disillusionment Valerie experiences as she grapples with the realization that her idealized image of her husband does not align with reality. Through Valerie's journey, the book explores themes of grief, identity, and the search for meaning in the face of adversity. Ultimately, this book offers a poignant and thought-provoking examination of the complexities of human relationships and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of loss.
