Wideacre trilogy

As a woman in eighteenth-century England without property rights, Beatrice can only look forward to being exiled from the land she loves to an arranged marriage. Nothing can stand in her way as she sets out to secure her hold on the land.

Meridon, a vagabond gypsy, allows her vague memories of a very different life, as well as the necklace that is her birthright, to lead her home to Wideacre where she takes her place as its mistress.
