Commentary During 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.Identify Books As Meridon (Wideacre #3)

I should have liked this book more than I did. It was the third of a series I had read almost accidentally, and the other two were surprisingly readable in spite of my personal predjudice against historical novels. I even enjoyed the first part of this one, but once the pivotal moment occurred in this story, (notice the careful avoidance of detail in an attempt not to spoil) I began to dislike not only the heroine, but all the other people involved as well because they felt like caricatures of*** I won't hide this review because of spoilers, but if you have not read the first two novels in the Wideacre trilogy, then this review will indeed be a massive spoiler to you!!!!***Meridon is a gypsy brat raised with her "twin" sister, Dandy, by her abusive Da and neglectful Step Ma. Meridon wakes up every day in their dirty old wagon thinking "I don't belong here." Her Da has her training horses to sell to the Quality, and teaches her how to cheat at cards.One day both Meridon and Dandy are
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
I have to disagree with a lot of people about this series. I absolutly loved it. I will admit that I found the first book, Wideacre, the least enjoyable, but I still rate it a 5. P.G. has become one of my favorite authors, she tells such a vivid story. Her stories may not be everyone's cup of tea, especially this trilogy, but I enjoy them very much. I think that all three women in these books have qualities that can be admirable, yet they all have demons. I think it makes them more real. I like
I hate to say this, but I thought the final chapter of the Wideacre trilogy was going to be much better than that. By all means, share your opposing viewpoints, but I honestly thought that it was somewhat of a letdown. About two chapters of the story take place at Wideacre. I found myself missing the beautiful descriptions of the land that Beatrice and Julia so loved and understood so well. I was confused at the conflicting emotions in Meridon. She seemed to have this strong passion for the land
With equal portions of dialogue and description in the depressing last book of the trilogy, I can say I'm glad to be done with this one.While there is descript kissing, there are only vague references to sex...making this particular novel equally a novel for adults and YA. I liked this one less than book 2 and consider book 1 the better of the three. Wideacre (book 1) was an impeccable novel; The Favoured Child (book 2) was a bit disappointing, and, well, Meridon Meridon was even more so.I like
This was an amazing read! The story builds on the others but it is much better. The struggles of Meridon are true and believable and my heart broke at the death of her sister. It was a true life transforming moment. It was nice to have a character actually be happy at the end of one of the books in the trilogy!
