Rendition As Books Meridon (Wideacre #3)
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Other Boleyn Girl comes the final book of the extraordinary Wideacre trilogy as the heir to the great estate comes home at last. 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... 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.Declare Books Conducive To Meridon (Wideacre #3)

I am over this series. It started out freaky and dark but now it's too sweet.GNIGHT!Philippa Gregory writes absolutely brilliant historical fiction, but this was not one of her best. Gregory is far more comfortable during the Tudor years, and it shows. It is very obvious, especially to a rabid Georgette Heyer fan like me, that she must have read quite a bit of Heyer before writing this book. Names, characterizations, and other details (like Meridon donning mens clothing all the time) were obviously borrowed from Heyer. On a positive note, when Meridon is poor and working as a
If you like Jane Austen, but wish it wasn't quite so vanilla - this trilogy is for you!Each book is the story of a daughter of the grand estate, Wideacre. Meridon is our heroine for this book. I can't say much without spoiling, but this one gives us a much different perspective on Wideacre, and it's little village. This is the best book of the trilogy, by far.If you are just looking for an easy period romance, I think you can have that here. My stepmother enjoyed this series, and she has no use
Philippa Gregory for me is one of those authors that you absolutely cherish. If I could summarise in a neat little package what my ideal book would be, it would one hundred percent have her name all over it. I love historical fiction and that is mainly due to this lady, she really can transport you back to the period shes writing about, each and every one of her characters is remarkable in there own way and Meridon is no exception.Now, I have a great appreciation for this series, the last two
Six Stars!!! I love Phillipa Gregory and I expect to love her books... which can set the bar a little high when I pick up one I haven't read. I didn't read the first 2 of this trilogy (and I didn't need to to follow this story) but I could not put this book down!! I tried reading while folding clothes, while eating breakfast, while pretending to play with the kids... seriously, it was such a great, great escape book! Is it literary fiction? Full of perfectly formed paragraphs? Are the characters
So. The concluding volume of the Wideacre trilogy. Each book is different, but this is by far the tamest. The story arc covers two years instead of 10 or more & the WTFery is kept to a minimum; for those that care, there's no incest in this book. Sarah's problems are unique in the Wideacre universe. Unlike her mother & grandmother, her initial contact with the land is metaphysical. She has a secret longing for somewhere else -- a place manifested by vivid dreams of past women who look
