Helpful Score: 2

This book was a very satisfying ending to the Wideacre trilogy. The first two books are hard to get through as the lead characters are among the most unsympathetic, horrible people I have ever read about. Nonetheless, you become interested in the story. With this book, Meridon is the third generation of Laceys at Wideacre, and you begin the book hoping that she will set everything right, based on the horrid scenarios in the last two books. When she makes it to Wideacre, she finds that everything has been set to rights in the absence of the Laceys over the past sixteen years. But will she leave it the happy place it has become, or ruin it? I had glimpses of her ruining it and I nearly put the book down several times, but she would have a thought that lent me some hope that all was not lost. The ending was very pleasing, although I would have liked to have seen her mother-in-law get her comeuppance. If you didn't like the first two, this book redeems the trilogy. If you did like the first two, this is a fitting closure.
