Meet Vera Slater, a modest, middle-aged woman living in post-war New Zealand. After three decades as a housewife and now facing financial ruin, she is compelled to enter the workforce. Employment changes everything for her. She discovers that a lack of formal education, life experience and reduced circumstance matter little when motivation and self-belief are at hand. George her husband of thirty years cannot keep up. Her fulfilment becomes his dismay as she embraces her new life wholeheartedly. Vera is inspirational, demonstrating that humble beginnings need not spell the extinction of one's hopes and dreams. This is the second book in the series: the first, The Elusive Silver Lining, is not required reading for enjoyment of A Peculiar Coupling.
