Description Toward Books Ross Poldark (The Poldark Saga #1)
Some of my friends in two different groups I'm in started reading this series so I thought, let me watch a little bit of the show on Amazon Prime. Um, yeah, then I decided I needed all of the books even though there is something going to happen that I didn't like but let the pictures do the talking =)
*******LET ME JUST SAY THERE WILL BE SPOILERS*******
Okay, so we have the beautiful Ross Poldark going off off to war thinking he would be coming home to his wonderful Elizabeth that he had fell in love with.....
Uh, no. Ross comes back 2 years later to his cousin, Francis, marrying his wonderful Elizabeth. Happy day to you dear, Ross. All is fair in love and war, right? < --- I can't believe I just said that!
Moving on. So Ross then has to work himself to the bone to get Nampara back to rights. His father died not long ago and the keepers, Jud and Prudie, let it go to hell in a handbasket!
I loved these two though, they are so freaking funny!
And then Ross happens to be in town one day with Jud buying some livestock for the home when he spies some street urchin fighting with some boys over a dog. They were going to do bad things. The only thing I don't like about these books is a few bad things they do to animals. They can kiss my arse! And Demelza feels the same, so there.
And we have the beautiful, Demelza, playing a boy but is really a beautiful warm soul underneath. Her and her dog Garrick. Okay, so she can hold her own in a brawl as best she can and says whatever she feels but that's the way it should be!
Ross is starting to looking into going into partnership in a mine. He doesn't really want to bother with his own for reasons. But, we get the beginning of what could be something started with the Wheel Leisure mine.
There are a lot of different things going on in the book but I believe I have rambled forever and a day!
Let me just add that some things turn around for Ross and Demelza. He starts to notice her among other things.
And then they get married, yes married. And I love Ross cousin, Verity. She is so sweet and she tries to help tame Demelza and becomes a most cherished of friends.
I love this book, I love the tv show and I do believe I will love the rest with the exception of one thing I know that's going to happen and will make me want to beat the living you know what out of Ross. That's all I'm saying.
Team Demelza all the way! ♥

When Ross and Demelza fell first in passion (the dress scene *swoon*) and then in love (the singing scene *sigh*), so did I with them. Just gorgeous.

Again... just as wonderful. On to Demelza.
There are so many outstanding qualities within this first novel in a series of twelve. Thank you to Goodreads friend Candi for first introducing me to this series with her wonderful reviews. Thank you, too, for the inspiration from Goodreads friend Diane, who decided last year to read this series at the rate of one per month and whose reviews were a monthly reminder to finally start reading this series. I loved the idea of one per month for the entire year, and it became one of my first personal
Ross Poldark, how do I love thee, let me count the ways.I had become enamored with the BBC series of Poldark. It is what spurred my desire to read the books that the series has been based upon. I have not been in the least disappointed with this the first book in the series written by Winston Graham.In this novel, we encounter Ross Poldark newly returned from the war in the American colonies to find the love of his life, Elizabeth, engaged to his cousin, Frances, his father dead, and his estate
4.5 rounded up.I couldnt resist this book...it has a picture of Aidan Turner on its cover. Seriously, I have loved watching the Poldark series on PBS and I find the book it is based on to be just as interesting and fulfilling. I will be reading the entire book series, although at what pace I am not sure.Book 1 deals with Ross Poldark, who comes home to England (Cornwall, no less) from the American Revolution to find that his father has died, his land is in complete disrepair, and his love is
This was SO. GOOD. I'm 100% in love with the TV show, and I was surprised at how much this felt like watching the first half, when everything is good and Ross is first falling in love with Demelza. Ross and Demelza are such an OTP, I can't wait to read (and watch) more!
