Helpful Score: 1

A fictional/historical novel, written from the standpoint of a completely amoral young lady who is passionately tied to the land of her ancestors, an estate called Wideacre. This is an oddly fascinating book! The lady, Beatrice, finds herself doing everything she can to procure ownership of this estate in spite of the male-dominated law of the land, which enforces that no woman inherits property whether they are the next in line, or not. As pieces fall into place through her treachery, and her brother manage the land and she - ahem - manages her brother. As spouses and changes creep into the book, you see how her life progresses from one tangled web of deception to another. A well-written page-turner.
