Demelza by Winston Graham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I liked this book even better than Ross Poldark, the first book in the series. That may be because the TV series followed this book more closely, but for whatever reason, it was wonderful. There are differences between the TV series and the books, mostly that the books contain many more characters. And – of course – the books allow us a look inside the characters’ thoughts, which I love. The writing is more old-style than today’s books, but it’s a wonderful read all the same.
