Sequel to the bestselling 'Wideacre'.
The Wideacre estate is bankrupt, the villagers are living in poverty and Wideacre Hall is a smoke-blackened ruin. But in the Dower House two children are being raised in protected innocence. Equal claimants to the inheritance of Wideacre, rivals for the love of the village, they are tied by a secret childhood betrothal but forbidden to marry.
Only one can be the favoured child. Only one can inherit the magical understanding between the land and the Lacey family that can make the Sussex village grow green again. Only one can be Beatrice Lacey's true heir.
This thriller features the Lacey family who, now that Wideacre Hall is a derelict, burned-out shell, live an austere life in an adjacent house where Julia and sadistic Richard, Beatrice's incestuous children are brought up by their aunt.
