Helpful Score: 5
I found this book difficult to read. The entire book is very dark and heavy. That being said, it is also intriguing enough that I kept on going. On the one hand I wanted to stop reading it, but on the other hand I was sucked in and wanted to know what would happen next.
It is a well written book but if you are easily disturbed by dark themes like murder, incest, extreme greed, madness, etc. this will not be the book for you.
I have written other Philippa Gregory books and this surprised me by how very different (theme wise) that is was. Wideacre is purely fiction, where I had grown used to the historical fiction nature of many of Gregory's other novels.
