Well that was one heck of a finale! I cannot say anything without ruining the ending of this wonderful saga except how glad I am to have picked this up when I did several years ago and got hooked right away. I am one of those people who watched the PBS Masterpiece show on TV without even knowing it came from books. I try so hard to never do that, but I remedied that really fast when I found out. This is probably the best series of historical fiction combined with romance, family saga, intrigue, ...

Rather than mention any particulars about the storyline of this final Poldark instalment, I have decided to write a short summery of my experience of this series as a whole.I began book one, four years ago whilst on holiday in a little fishing village on the Cornwall coastline. It was here, in a quaint little, white washed, blue shuttered stone cottage that I first read about the exploits of Ross and Delmelza, and as I did so, I was transported back to an 18th century Cornwall. Admittedly this w...

Aaw, man. Gutted to have finished these novels. They are simply astounding. This final novel could have done with another wee edit, but what a great end to the series.

Well, it's over. I have finished this final book in the series. Of course, the Poldark Saga will have to be limited to 5 stars by Goodreads rating system, but by my count, it gets 52 stars from me.I can't describe how much I will miss this family, these people, this place. Heck, I'm even going to miss the 2 Irish Wolfhounds, Castor and Pollux, that belonged to Harriet, George Warleggan's second wife. No more wondering what George will do next, or how Ross and Demelza will handle what life throws...

The twelfth and last book of the Poldark series, Bella Poldark is a fitting and satisfying end to a saga that has spanned several decades and multiple generations of the Poldarks of Cornwall. Packed with story lines all its own, it still manages to tie up all the central characters and give one a sense that things have come to a completion. At the same time, there is a sense that life, as it always does, goes on.Near the end, Demelza (perhaps my favorite character among all those I have loved in...

This was my least favorite of all 12 books in the series. The serial killer was ridiculous, as was the cigar-smoking ape. Bella's career didn't really interest me, so this one was hard to get through.
I was very disappointed and wonder, as someone has suggested, if a ghost writer wrote it.

Wow!! What a glorious and amazing journey this has been!! From the first book in this Poldark series to the last— twelve installments in all, I remained enraptured and enthralled by the remarkable characters created by Winston Graham. He is a master at weaving stories of love, loss, prosperity, heartache, rivalry, mystery, family, war— I could go on and on. Centering around the life of Captain Ross Poldark and his beautiful (both inwardly and outwardly) wife, Demelza, the author stirs the reader...

I am a die hard fan of the Poldark Novels, indeed, of everything Winston Graham wrote. I first read 'Ross Poldark" aged 16 and was enraptured from the start. The Cornish countryside lovingly described, the characters believable, lovable or hateful, fully recognisable despite the setting of the 18th Century. So it is with dismay that I have to say that this book was ill- conceived. And unecessary too.Here is my first problem. Bella Poldark is described, quite a lot in the novels prior to this one...

I finally finished the 12th and last book in the Poldark series. If real life hadn't dared to interfere I probably would've finished long before now. After 12 books I've grown so attached to these characters that it will be difficult to leave them behind even though the thought of reading something new and different is a very healing balm.SPOILERS BELOWBella Poldark focuses on the trials and tribulations of Ross and Demelza's youngest daughter. She has inherited her mother's love of music and ha...

It isn't that the book is a 5 star book, though it was great. It's that the series was amazing. I started reading this series when I was 12. I watched the two seasons on Masterpiece Theatre and fell in love. When we went to Toronto I bought all the books with the Masterpiece Theatre covers. I practiced my British accent and fell in love with Cornwall. When my parents took us to England when I was about 19, my request was that we go to Cornwall and it was everything I could have imagined. I didn'...
