Ross is one of literature's great heroes . . . [with] elements of
Darcy, Heathcliff, Rhett Butler and Robin Hood
*Debbie Horsfield, writer of BBC One's Poldark*
From the incomparable Winston Graham . . . who has everything that
anyone else has, then a whole lot more
*The Guardian*
The plot roars along as the sea crashes, rain lashes and wild winds
whip up the spume. I swear you can almost hear the screaming
gulls
*Daily Mail*
Die-hard Poldark fans take note: if the TV series is not enough for
you, there are 12 (yes, 12) novels in the original series . . .
Love rivalry, war, class struggles - it's a rich soup of
discontent, and there are some blistering lines in the books
*The Times*
Steeped in humour, romance, passion and tragedy, the Poldark books
are as exciting and fresh as they are timeless and memorable. Don't
miss them!
