Philippa Gregory's first novel and first in the bestselling
Wideacre trilogy. A compelling tale of passion and intrigue set in
the eighteenth century. From the author of The Other Boleyn Girl
and The Virgin's Lover. 'If it was the way of the world that girls
left home, then the world would have to change. I would never
change.' Wideacre Hall, set in the heart of the English
countryside, is the ancestral home that Beatrice Lacey loves. But
as a woman of the eighteenth century she has no right of
inheritance. Corrupted by a world that mistreats women, she sets
out to corrupt others. Sexual and wilful, she believes that the
only way to achieve control over Wideacre is through a series of
horrible crimes, and no-one escapes the consequences of her need to
possess the land. Sweeping, passionate, unique: 'Wideacre' is the
novel which brought Philippa Gregory to bestselling fame and is the
first of the trilogy which continued with 'The Favoured Child' and
concluded with 'Meridon'.
