Philippa Gregory's first story in the best-selling Wideacre trilogy. A
compelling tale of passion and intrigue set in the 18th century. From
the author of The Other Boleyn Girl and The Virgin's Lover.
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.
