Author: Winston Graham

This is the first book of twelve that the series Poldark is based on. I loved the Netflix series and this book followed it very closely (actually I guess the series followed the book very closely).

Ross Poldark has returned to Cornwall after fighting in the American Revolution. His father has died in his absence and the love of his life is set to marry his cousin. The Poldark’s are an aristocratic family who are involved in several mining endeavours, many of which are failing. Unlike many of the aristocrats in the area, Ross cares very deeply for the people who live on his land and work in his fields and mines.

I’m definitely in for the next book.
