Spinner of Yarns
Ross Poldark by Winston Graham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Loved it! Such a great way to finish off watching the Masterpiece Theater series. There are differences between the two, most notably, there are many more characters in the book version. And – of course – no matter how Winston Graham described Ross, he’ll forever look like Aiden Turner to me. Ditto for Demelza and Eleanor Tomlinson. On to book two!

I’ve been contemplating reading these. The series was so good, and the books are always better. Thanks for sharing!

I’m halfway through “Demelza” and totally hooked, but you know me, I love reading classics. And I *LOVED* the series as well.
