An Accommodating Spouse by Elizabeth Jolley


I am a very quick reader, usually powering through books at high speed. For this book, however, I had to slow down. To read in my head as if it was being read aloud, so lovely were the sentences. The story is told by an aging professor surrounded by women - his wife, her twin, their triplet daughters and two work colleagues. It is a comedy of manners and I enjoyed it very much.

You can find An Accommodating Spouse and other novels by Elizabeth Jolley in the fiction section of Wagga Wagga City Library.
