The Wideacre Trilogy 3 Books Collection Set brings together Philippa Gregory's landmark saga of ambition, inheritance and desire in one brand new paperback bundle.

A perfect gift for readers of period sagas and book clubs alike.. About the Books. Wideacre opens the saga with Beatrice Lacey, a woman who loves the family estate more than any person and who, denied the right of inheritance by eighteenth-century law, resorts to ruthless and increasingly shocking means to secure it for herself. Her obsession sets in motion a chain of events that will echo through the following two novels.. The Favoured Child continues the story after Wideacre has fallen into ruin. Two cousins, raised together in the Dower House and bound by a secret childhood promise, are pitted against one another as rival claimants to what remains of the estate, their loyalty and love tested by poverty, ambition and buried family history.. Meridon closes the trilogy with the story of a young Romany girl performing bareback riding tricks in a travelling show, determined to escape hardship alongside her sister Dandy. A series of revelations draws Meridon toward Sussex and toward Wideacre itself, completing the story of the Lacey line in an atmospheric, emotionally charged finale.. Together the three novels form a complete multi-generational saga rich in period detail, illicit passion and the corrupting pull of land and power, and remain among Gregory's most acclaimed early work..
