New York Times bestselling author
Philippa Gregory's first story in the bestselling Wideacre trilogy. A compelling tale of passion and intrigue set in the 18th century.
'I would not leave Wideacre. I would not surrender my place to Harry. If it was the way of the world that girls left home and sons inherited, 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 18th century, she has no right of inheritance. Corrupted by a world that mistreats women, she sets out to corrupt others.
Sexual and willful, 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.
‘Gregory's research is impeccable which makes her imaginative fiction all the more convincing.’
The Daily Mail
'The eighteenth-century woman is a neglected creature but, in the figure of her heroine, Philippa Gregory has defined a certain kind of wildness …'
The Times
‘Subtle and exciting.’
