Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"Some of the most memorable passages deal with insights into human nature that readers of Jane Austen will appreciate... Ross Poldark is rich with memorable characters and vivid scenes of Cornwall life in the late 18th-century." — Austenprose

"The thing that has always made these books stand out from the crowd is the way in which Winston Graham’s characters just overflow with humanity in all its forms. " — Romantic Historical Reviews

"This novel is so much about the characters living within its pages, the time period, and the setting of Cornwall... Definitely a must read for historical fiction fans and even for those just looking for a good story and series to sink into! Highly recommended!" — Peeking Between The Pages

"Ross Poldark is an excellent book full of romance, adventure, and accurate depictions of the fallibilities of the human race." — Laura’s Reviews

"If you are fan of historical fiction and Austen-like stories, you must check out Ross Poldark. " — Confessions of a Book Addict

MAY 2015 - AudioFile

Captain Ross Poldark returns from America to his family home in Cornwall, where he finds much disappointment. Narrator Oliver Hembrough’s plethora of accents and voices captures the diverse characters and vivid atmosphere of this rich family saga. Not only does Hembrough do a good job with the women in Poldark’s life, but he also effectively portrays the varied socioeconomic positions of the myriad characters through dialogue that ranges from the slurred speech of the housekeepers and miners to the crisp speech of Poldark and his peers. Variations in Hembrough’s cadence and pitch enhance the drama of the story, creating an intriguing listen for lovers of historical fiction and romance. M.F.
