Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Beatrice Lacey, as strong-minded as she is beautiful, refuses to conform to the social customs of her time. Destined to lose her family name and beloved Wideacre estate once she is wed, Beatrice will use any means necessary to protect her ancestral heritage. Seduction, betrayal, even murder — Beatrice's passion is without apology or conscience. "She is a Lacey of Wideacre," her father warns, "and whatever she does, however she behaves, will always be fitting." Yet even as Beatrice's scheming seems about to yield her dream, she is haunted by the one living person who knows the extent of her plans...and her capacity for evil.

Sumptuously set in Georgian England, Wideacre is intensely gripping, rich in texture, and full of color and authenticity. It is a saga as irresistible in its singular magic as its heroine.

Synopsis:

Readers will fall in love with Philippa Gregory's mesmerizing trilogy!

I was surprised at this book it had so many twists and turns, often some strange ones. However it was impossible to put down as the story continued on. Having read most of Philippa Gregory's books I had not read this series yet and was surprised at how different it was from her normal books set around the Tudor period. However she can do no wrong and managed to write an captivating book.

philippa gregory performs her magic once more. This book will draw you into a world where women "know their place". Then comes Beatrice Lacey, a woman with a mind of her own. First book of a trilogy, this will leave you wanting more.

Gregory writes an enchanting story of a strong and independant woman named Beatrice Lacey, whose personal beliefs are ahead of her time.
