A weary Ross Poldark returns to England from war, looking forward to a joyful homecoming with his beloved Elizabeth. But instead he discovers his father has died, his home is overrun by livestock and drunken servants, and Elizabeth—believing Ross to be dead—is now engaged to his cousin. Ross has no choice but to start his life anew.Thoughts
As you can gather I did want to read these books because of the BBC One series (I'm a fickle woman, I know), but I am glad I did start to read this book.
With the TV show you only get so much, but with the book you get a lot more information about the world that Winston Graham is trying to create.
I love Ross and Demelza, but for different reasons, with Ross he's that tall, dark, and handsome man who's all broody. Demelza I just found to be such a great character and I loved the budding relationship between her and Ross.
I will admit that the love triangle between Ross, Demelza, and Elizabeth is just pointless, I always wanted Ross with Demelza, after everything he has seen during the war, Demelza is the only one I thought that could handle him and wouldn't take any of his crap.
I found the book easy to follow, even for one that is set during the late 1700's, and found that the writing just flowed so easily.
Overall a great start to the series, and I have already read Demelza (so watch out for that review coming soon)
