Ross Poldark (The Poldark Saga #1) by Winston Graham
Genre: Historical Fiction
Read: 16th October 2017
Purchase: Amazon
★★★★★ 5 stars
For the first time, I think, I have watched a TV adaption of a novel, or novels, before reading them. I generally don't like to do that fearing too many comparisons would be made. I needn't have feared. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and look forward to delving into the next one, Demelza.
My only complaint would be the excessive use of the lower working class tongue. While I could get the general gist of what was said, the constant misspelling into the old Cornish worker's dialect made for difficult reading at times. But I got used to it and it didn't stop me from enjoying this wonderful book.
I shan't delve into the story, as the description gives one a taster and the rest is best left to the reader. And tomorrow I shall begin my journey back to Nampara with Demelza.
