Book Reviews of Meridon

Book Review: Meridon
Summary: 5 Stars

Easily my favorite of the Wideacre books, partly because of all the horsey parts (I like horses...) Also I find Meridon to be the most likable of the Wideacre characters- and surprisingly a lot more 'normal,' despite the fact that she is descended from two sets of brother/sisters. I think this book's plot benefits from the fact that the majority of the story takes place outside of the Wideacre property. The first two seemed to stale from the lack of movement- stuck in the same environment. Even when Julia left for Bath in the Favored Child, it seemed forced. Anyway, I regress. Meridon has a lively plot, well-developed characters, and ends happily- all things I like in a book I'm reading for fun. I also don't feel that you HAVE to read the other two to necessarily enjoy this one- so if you gave up one of the others because it freaked you out, you could still enjoy this one.

Summary of Meridon

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....

Crowning the extraordinary trilogy that began with Wideacre and The Favored Child, 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.
