Demelza (Paperback / Softback)Winston Graham

Description

Demelza is the second book in Winston Graham’s hugely popular Poldark series, which has become a television phenomenon starring Aidan Turner. Demelza Carne, the impoverished miner’s daughter Ross Poldark rescued from a fairground rabble, is now his wife. But in the events of these turbulent years test their marriage and their love.

Demelza’s efforts to adapt to the ways of the gentry – and her husbane – bring her confusion and heartache, despite the joy in the birth of their first child. Ross begins a bitter struggle for the rights of the mining communities – and sows the seed of an enduring enmity with powerful George Warleggan. Demelza is followed by Jeremy Poldark, the third title in this evocative series set in 18th century Cornwall.

‘From the incomparable Winston Graham…who has everything that anyone else has, then a whole lot more’ Guardian
