Wideacre

Philippa Gregory

Wideacre Hall, set in the heart of the English countryside, is the ancestral home that Beatrice
Lacey loves. But as a woman of the eighteenth century she haś no right of inheritance. Corrupted by a world that mistreats women, she sets out to corrupt others. Sexual and wilful, 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 has defined a certain kind of wildness… This is a novel written from instinct, not/out of calculation, and it shows PETER ACKROYD, The Times
