In the 1770s Beatrice Lacey is devoted to Wideacre, her family’s Sussex estate, but inheritance law reserves the land for her brother Harry. Refusing the restricted future planned for her, she begins a calculated campaign to control the estate through secrecy, seduction and marriage.
Beatrice’s determination damages her family and the village whose welfare she claims to protect. The novel presents the country house as both inheritance and obsession, linking personal transgression to the unequal ownership of Georgian land.
