Ross Poldark, the scandalous son of a minor land-owner, comes back from serving the Crown in the War for American Independence to find his father dead, his estate in disrepair, and the woman who he'd hoped to wed engaged to someone else (a formerly close friend, actually). Understandably, he's about...
As I hoped, I enjoyed the book just as much, if not more than the Masterpiece series! Of course there are differences, but over all I think the show stayed true in much of the story. I enjoy getting the full story though, and plan to continue enjoying both. While I love Ross, I feel that his relatio...
Coming home from war is hard. Coming home from war to learn that the woman you love is marrying your cousin, your father has just died, your servants are drunken slatterns, and that you have a lot of work ahead of you to turn around the estate’s fortunes is exponentially harder. It’s little wonder t...
Oczywiście, że najpierw obejrzałem serial, tę nową wersję, bo podobno istnieje też wersja starsza. Z początku mnie nie zachwycał, ale w miarę szybko się wciągnąłem (aktorka grająca Demelzę jest przepiękna). A potem przyszło olśnienie, że cały ten Poldark powstał na podstawie książek Winstona Grahama...
When reading this novel, it is easy to understand why it was adapted twice for the screen. The storytelling is highly entertaining and fast paced, and is supported by a fine cast of characters. I love grouchy, crusty characters and Jud Painter with his “wife” Prudie are among the best I have encount...
I have a shameful confession. Other than a few notable exceptions (Tolstoy, Anthony Trollope, Jasper Fforde) I rarely enjoy fiction written by men. I can’t even discuss it without resorting to stereotypes I would resent if it was women being lumped together, but if I was forced to say something it w...
After the blurb and the prologue I expected something very different from what I eventually got but I still wasn't disappointed. Rather the opposite in fact. I somehow expected a quite conventional novel: set-up, climax, resolution (and I expected Ross' cousin and uncle to be the antagonists) but Po...
I had some high expectations for this book based on the reviews and whatnot and unfortunately I was a little disappointed. The story seemed to be as much about the villagers on Ross's estate as Ross himself. And I couldn't help feel that every time the plot got pulled off in the direction of one of ...
Set in Cornwall at the end of the eighteenth century, this novel introduces the Poldark family. Most of the story revolves around Ross Poldark, returning home from the Revolutionary war, scarred and limping, only to find out that his father has died and his home in a shambles. Worse still, his engag...
