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....<P><P>Crowning the extraordinary trilogy that began with <I>Wideacre</i> and <I>The Favored Child, Meridon</i> 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 -- <I>Meridon</i> is Philippa Gregory's masterwork.<P><P> 3970 book 1990 Meridon (Wideacre, #3) total:1376|5:249|4:406|3:450|2:192|1:79| 1376 4682 2270 83 16186 0743249313 9780743249317 1328 76 3.40 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166719851m/16186.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16186.Meridon 4 2 true Thu Nov 20 14:58:16 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 20 15:00:03 -0800 2008 more...]]> 16186 0743249313 9780743249317 1328 76 3.40 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166719851m/16186.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16186.Meridon 3 0 false Sun Nov 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Nov 18 21:20:08 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 18 21:32:57 -0800 2009 more...]]> 16186 0743249313 9780743249317 1328 76 3.40 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166719851m/16186.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16186.Meridon 4 0 false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Tue Apr 21 05:25:22 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 21 06:33:25 -0700 2009
