Wow, this book has more polarized reviews (so many one-star "I hated this book" reviews!) than most. I love the review that says that Beatrice, the main character, "commits multiple acts of murder, participates in very creepy incest, and betrays people who love her" and "has no redeeming qualities"....

It's been six years since I read Wideacre and while writing this review I'm pretty shocked to find that I'm still angry. I have never hated a character more than I hated Beatrice Lacey.

Holy cow, I absolutely hated this book. Like, HATED. I still have such a visceral reaction to hit. Incest - not really my thing. I can't believe that I finished it OR that I read the sequel. I think I just had to see if there was any single redeeming thing in this series. Nope. Really, I don'...
Twisted.
One of PG's earliest novels, this one was a novel that I did not like at all. Beatrice Lacey, the heroine, is utterly without morals or discretion in striving to keep her home, Wideacre, in her own hands. For that, she will lie, murder, steal and betray, and if she breaks social taboos, so be it. Wh...
Twisted! (Deliciously so.) Total summer trashy fun, if you don't mind really raunchy sex and a despicable anti-heroine.
