Commentary Supposing 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.

Good story, didn't even have to read the previous ones!I couldn't put this book down. I stayed up until 4am to read it. I had to know what was going to happen and couldn't wait. The last book of the Wideacre story. It's not what I expected, which was good. The first two books were alot the same, so this was a change. Like so many characters from Wideacre I felt so sorry for Meridon and the hardships she went through, but it made her a strong, independent person. She was able to experience so much more in life then the other characters in the first
Meridon is the reader's payoff for surviving Wideacre and The Favored Child. Meridon, the character, has all the best qualities of her mother and grandmother, plus somehow does not have six legs despite having only one set of great-grandparents. Meridon, the book, has all the best qualities of the two earlier entries in the series and is entirely absent of the unsettling incest from the earlier two. There are a lot of nice callbacks to the better aspects of the earlier books, and I think Gregory
FINALLY, something good happens for this family...well...sorta. At least she doesn't throw her life away or die in the end and finds some sense of happiness. As always with these families, though, there's plenty of drama and trouble. I went into this book expecting nothing. Still, Phillippa, I love your writing...even when you do the unthinkable and scandalize me to where I want to throw the book across the room. My friends just laugh at me when I get worked up and tell them about what's going
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
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
After 2 trainwrecky and emotionally-wringing installments of incest and abuse, this one was very subdued and almost normal. Unfortunately there were a lot of words in this brick of normal, and so many scenes dragged on and on with the painstaking description, particularly of the land. Now, in the past books, I loved the land bits because Beatrice was so invested in it. She practically orgasmed thinking about it. Julia's love for the land was driven by a deep social conscience.Meridon was simply
