"I fell in love with Crosby, Stills, and Nash's song 'Southern Cross' when I was fifteen. By the time I got to college, 'I'm going to sail around the world someday' was sort of my pickup line." Continue »

Meridon (Wideacre Trilogy #03)

Meridon (Wideacre Trilogy #03) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Meridon knows she does not belong in the dirty, vagabond life of a gypsy bareback rider. The half-remembered vision of another life burns in her heart, even as her beloved sister, Dandy, risks everything for their future. Alone, Meridon follows the urgings of her dream, riding in the moonlight past the rusted gates, up the winding drive to a house — clutching the golden clasp of the necklace that was her birthright — home at last to Wideacre. The lost heir of one of England's great estates would take her place as its mistress....

Crowning the extraordinary trilogy that began with Wideacre and The Favored Child, Meridon is a rich, impassioned tapestry of a young woman's journey from dreams to glittering drawing rooms and elaborate deceits...from a simple hope to a deep and fulfilling love. Set in the savage contrasts of Georgian England — a time alive with treachery, grandeur, and intrigue — Meridon is Philippa Gregory's masterwork.

This book is exactly what was needed to wrap up the dark, captivating Lacey saga-- Meridon is a classic Lacey, as thoroughly deceitful as her grandmother but smart enough to see past all the phoniness in her world. She is an amazing character and the romance and plot twists in this book are sensational! I never wanted it to end. I'd also recommend reading Tino Georgiou's bestselling novel--The Fates--if you haven't yet!

this trilogy is definitely not for the faint of heart, it has some dark moments, especially in the first book (wide acre). very good, couldnt wait to finish them all but when done was left feeling sad that it was over. almost like a scarlett o'hara with her love of the land..but even scarlett wasnt this bad!!
