I absolutely adore this series!

The continuing saga of the Poldarks of Cornwall just got even more complex and involved in the 3rd installment of Jeremy Poldark and I loved it! Picking up right where book 2 left off, Ross and Demelza are suffering a great loss and Ross finds himself in the midst of a trial being accused of inciting a riot when two ships ran aground and the local folks rush to salvage the wrecks. He is near bankruptcy and his future looks very bleak with the mine closure and his rival, George Warleggan breathin...

"Do you think that Ross is settled down after all his trouble?""I always feel," Dwight said, "That Ross is like a volcano. He may be quiet forever - or erupt tomorrow." A very good summary of Ross's character!This is the third book in a row in this series, & once again it is a 5★ read for me. Once again the book is a mixture of romance, adventure, humour (in the most unexpected places) & Ross's prickly, difficult character.& the good doctor (Dwight Enys) looks to be once again he...

This novel illustrates yet again the cinematic quality of Winston Graham’s writing. The vivid descriptions, the turmoil and troubles of the characters, how their surroundings and their circumstances colour their lives and perceptions – for me, it was truly like watching a movie. Although I have not yet watched any of the specials that have been filmed based on these novels, I can only imagine how easy the film-makers’ task must have been thanks to Mr. Graham’s visual writing. The most difficult ...

I loved being back in this world!



As always, there is struggle and strife and Ross always in trouble. But it's mostly always for the good!

Demelza is wonderful as ever and strong in her way. And dear sweet Verity. I would love them both as friends ❤️

And now we have a new edition. But what new troubles await the Poldark's!

Wonderful series so far!

Happy Reading!

"It isn’t where you’re born in this world, it’s what you do."If you’ve read my reviews of both Ross Poldark and Demelza, then you might be thinking here we go again… Candi’s set to get all fangirlish on us! Yep, you’re probably right! Jeremy Poldark is the third in this splendid series and just as riveting as the first two. In this one, the futures of some of my beloved characters are threatened, and I was worried indeed. Ross is faced with a dilemma and his thought process in determining the ri...

The third book in the Poldark series. The farther into the series I go the deeper my feelings become for these marvelous characters. Demelza Poldark is one of the most finely drawn, enthralling women ever put to paper. She has become the heart of the books for me, and I feel that Winston Graham must have felt the same. She is open and honest and leads with her heart, and she puts the gentry to shame.In this book we become better acquainted with Dwight Enys, a doctor ahead of his time, who feels ...

"He realized that all the struggle and anxiety of the next few months would not be his alone. She would bear her share of the burden. She was bearing it now."Within the pages of Winston Graham's Book 3 of the Poldark Series, we come to see the strength and determination of the slight waif who won the heart of Ross Poldark......Demelza. An unlikely young girl who would become his wife. An unlikely frail figure who would cast a giant shadow on things to come.Ross Poldark, who returned to his famil...

I've just finished the first three of the Poldark novels. I'd never have considered reading them if I'd not had the opportunity to read the first one for free on kindle, mainly because I shy away from romance-novels-made-into-a-long-running-TV-series. Pity that. Winston Graham wrote the first four novels as a series in the 1950's, and then returned to them in the 1970's and wrote another five. I've read the first three only, because the fourth is not available on Kindle. I will seek it out at th...

I found the third book in the Poldark series as enthralling as ever and I highly recommend this series. Can't wait for the PBS miniseries "Poldark" to begin at the end of June either. Ross and Demelza are experiencing tough financial times thanks to George Warleggan and cousin Francis. Will Ross lose everything he owns to the rapacious George Warleggan? Can't wait to read the next book "Warleggan" to find out. I'm beginning to strongly dislike Elizabeth who doesn't seem to be able to appreciate ...
