The third volume in the bestselling Wiseacre Trilogy of novels. Set in the eighteenth century, they launched the career of Philippa Gregory, the bestselling author of The Other Boleyn Girl and Three Sisters, Three Queens.
Meriden, a desolate Romany girl, is determined to escape the hard poverty of her childhood. Riding bareback in a travelling show, while her sister Dandy risks her life on the trapeze, Meriden dedicates herself to freeing them both from danger and want.
But Dandy, beautiful, impatient, thieving Dandy, grabs too much, too quickly. And Meriden finds herself alone, riding in bitter grief through the rich Sussex farmlands towards a house called Wiseacre – which awaits the return of the last of the Lacey’s.
Sweeping, passionate, unique: 'Meriden' completes Philippa Gregory's bestselling trilogy which began with 'Wiseacre' and continued with 'The Favored Child'.
