Summary

The third volume in the best-selling Wideacre trilogy. Set in the 18th century, they launched the career of Philippa Gregory, the best-selling author of The Other Boleyn Girl and Three Sisters, Three Queens.

Meridon, a desolate Romany girl, is determined to escape the hard poverty of her childhood. Riding bareback in a travelling show while her sister, Dandy, risks her life on the trapeze, Meridon dedicates herself to freeing them both from danger and want.

But Dandy, beautiful, impatient, thieving Dandy, grabs too much too quickly. And Meridon finds herself alone, riding in bitter grief through the rich Sussex farmlands towards a house called Wideacre - which awaits the return of the last of the Laceys.

A good end to a twisted saga

I was unsure whether to listen to Meridon as I had read very mixed reviews about it. but I am very pleased I did. Yes the narration is different to that in The Favoured Child but I found these characters a lot more realistic. In the Favoured Child a number of the characters had hopes and didn't speak up to injustices while in Meridon I found Sarah and Will to be much more believable and they fight for what is theirs right to the end. A book which is very much worth a listen and very enjoyable!

Enjoyed the entire series

All 3 of these books have lead me into wanting to listen to the next from one of my favourite authors. Meriden is a heart warming and magical tale. Would be nice to have future books in this series.

Narrator detracts from story

Narrated by what sounds like a child. The main character is a young woman, not a child.

WOW!!

At the start in book 1 I was slightly perturbed by the graphic sexual nature of the content. I whizzed through some bits. However, by the final Chapter I was absolutely hooked. Have just finished the trilogy and now it all hangs together with perfection. Brilliantly written and brilliantly executed. Novels I read have to come full circle at the conclusion; this trilogy does it superbly. At times dark, distressing, angersome but with humour, great character profiles which just leaves me say WOW!! Very impressed and that is not easy to do! Totally recommended.

Best one of the trilogy.

Out of all three books, I enjoyed this the most. As with the last book, the story continued but skipped to the next generation. Thankfully, there was no incest in this book.

I felt captivated by this book and was sad whenever life took over and I had to pause it. The narrator was pleasant to listen to and I enjoyed the range of accents.
