A review by kellian901
Wideacre by Philippa Gregory

3.0

I’m very torn. This was my first Philippa Gregory novel, and I love the way she writes. It was the only thing that kept me going when the main characters were so utterly unlikeable or downright depraved! My feelings are very similar about Crime and Punishment. I think I am supposed to feel for the main character and the situation that society has put them in. But then they do such abhorrent things I can’t help but wish for their downfall. I wanted Beatrice to reap everything she sowed, and the vehemence of that feeling made me pause and examine myself… 3 stars for the beautiful scenic descriptions and for making me feel so strongly. But overall, rather depressing.
