Her obsession sets in motion a chain of events that will echo through the following two novels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeridon 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete three-book saga in one set — read the whole Wideacre story in reading order.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand new paperback editions, ideal for shelf, gift or holiday reading.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrong, morally complex female leads — excellent for book clubs and reading groups.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRich eighteenth and nineteenth-century historical detail from an acclaimed author.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact paperback format, easy to store, travel with or pass on.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPhilippa Gregory is a bestselling British historical novelist known for vivid, meticulously researched fiction centred on strong-willed women navigating power, love and survival.
