The Poldark books are some of the most fascinating, hard to put down historical novels written. The stories follow the two sides of the Poldark family, with emphasis on Ross Poldark’s family, through the years of the American War and Buonaparte to the advent of steam power and on.
There is the great love story of Ross and Demelza – the trials they survive together, the mines and villagers they work with, the betrayals they suffer, the children they raise, the separations they endure. Theirs is a portrait of a real marriage which grows over time.
I cannot recommend these enough. I encourage everyone to read the entire series.
