Good stuff, interesting read, but not for the feint(sp?) of heart. Some dark stuff, but quite captivating story. Heroine is not your typical good girl, but you may end up routing for her anyway!
Great literature? No, probably not. But I'll be damned if "Wideacre" isn't a fun, wild, sexed-up joy ride of a book, with an impossibly strong femme fatale seducing men far and wide.
"Bodice Ripper" sums it up, but it's a bodice ripper with substance; think Emmy-winning "daytime drama"...this book's more All My Children than it is "Passions".
I could have easily given it five stars; I didn't only because then where does that leave books like "Jane Eyre" or "The Good Earth"? ...more

Surprisingly raunchy AND (at the end) creepy, but nonetheless compelling with interesting and occasionally complex characters. Actually, the characters and the plot were not particularly amazing, but the writing was good and I found myself quite drawn in, eager to read what stupid mistake the heroine would make next. In a way, the heroine of this book is the same heroine of all this author's books (that I've read), only the circumstances have changed.

So twisted I did not enjoy it (although kept on reading). I think I read the sequel and the one done on Masterpiece Theatre then decided to boycott her in the future.
