Ross Poldark - Poldark (Paperback)
Winston Graham (author)Published: 12/02/2015
Ross Poldark is the first novel in Winston Graham's hugely popular Poldark series. Now a television phenomenon, BBC One's Poldark starring Aidan Turner.
Tired from a grim war in America, Ross Poldark returns to his land and his family. But the joyful homecoming he has anticipated turns sour, for his father is dead, his estate is derelict and the girl he loves is engaged to his cousin.
But his sympathy for the destitute miners and farmers of the district leads him to rescue a half-starved urchin girl from a fairground brawl and take her home - an act which alters the whole course of his life . . .
Ross Poldark is followed by Demelza, the second novel in this evocative series set in 18th century Cornwall.
