I couldn't put this book down. I stayed up until 4am to read it. I had to know what was going to happen and couldn't wait.
The last book of the Wideacre story. It's not what I expected, which was good. The first two books were alot the same, so this was a change.
Like so many characters from Wideacre I felt so sorry for Meridon and the hardships she went through, but it made her a strong, independent person. She was able to experience so much more in life then the other characters in the first two books.
I had a feeling from the beginning that things wouldn't go well for Dandy. How would she have fit in Wideacre life...
I had hoped to hear about Ralph. I was disappointed he wasn't around.
I thought James would have a stronger leading part also.
I am glad it wasn't as cruel as the first two..the incest and rape.
I loved how Beatrice and Julia all stayed together, helping each other along the way and helping Meridon to find her way home. I loved the horse theme too. It made the story wonderfully touching having the connections there. Beatrice and Julia guided Meridon home with the help a beloved horse...wonder if each horse was related...I think so.
