A review by maiyako
Wideacre by Philippa Gregory

3.0

I wish I could better express how I feel about this book other than just saying I enjoyed and hated it. I think if the story had been from the view of any other charcter (with the exception of Harry Lacey) I think I would have enjoyed it more. I have never in my life hated a main character more than I did Beatrice Lacey. She was selfish powerdriven and the extremes that she goes to to get what she wants are so drastic that it is difficult to relate with her or establish any postive feels at all towards here. The story and the style of the book were wonderful and Gregory does a wonderful job of conveying the mystical beauty of wildacre. I most likely would have walked away from this book with happier of Beatrice were the atagonist rather than the protaganist but nonetheless I have already picked up the next book in the series.
