The Black Moon by Winston Graham
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is my favorite of the Poldark books so far. It was written twenty years after book 4, and the author had obviously grown in his craft. Writing styles were also changing during this time, so the book reads a bit more like a modern novel than the first four. But the characters are true to the beginning books, just as charming and riddled with issues of their own making as well as those beyond their control. Looking forward to the next one!
My reviews in this series:
Book 1) Poldark
Book 2) Demelza
Book 3) Jeremy Poldark
Book 4) Warleggan
