The Stranger from the Sea by Winston Graham My rating: 5 of 5 stars Now I understand why the Masterpiece Theater series ended when it did. Book 8 – this one – takes a huge jump into the future.

Demelza
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, mostlyContinue reading “Demelza”
