A review by onecraftybird
Wideacre by Philippa Gregory

2.0

This was a hard listening! This book was free on Audible so I thought to give it a go as I always really liked Philippa Gregory’s books but I have never hated a main character as much as I have hated Beatrice Lacey. On a writing level, this is a super book but no one can like a self centred girl who will go to extreme lengths to get what she wants and desires. As an intersectional feminist, I appreciate that side of the story and it must have been horrendous to be seeing as nothing more than a wife and mother with absolute no provisions if something bad were to happen to the “master” of the house. However, Beatrice is a twisted, narcissistic woman and I was glad of the end she got.
