It took a few pages for me to really get into this novel, than I had to know what happened next. The maze Gregory took me through was surprising at every turn. Truly reveals the conditions of the poor and their dependance upon the landed gentry during this period. With illegal immigration and can see us reverting to these times again. Read and weep!
The sequel to Wideacre, and book 2 of the Lacey/Wideacre trilogy.
