About This Item
Doubleday, 1953. Hardcover. Very Good in Very Good DJ. Book club edition, very good hardcover with red topstain to pages shows bumping to edges and corners and some other mild trace wear, in very good dust jacket that shows rubbing, ink scribbling next to the author's picture at rear panel, bit fo soil and edgewear that includes closed tears and small open chips. Still a solid copy in jacket of this early printing of the second in Graham's series of Poldark novels that focuses on the lovely miner's daughter Demelza.
Synopsis
Demelza is a heartwarming, gripping, and utterly entertaining saga that brings to life an unforgettable cast of characters and one of the greatest love stories of our age.An impoverished miner's daughter, Demelza Carne is now married to Ross Poldark, who once rescued her from a fairground brawl. Her efforts to adapt to the ways of the gentry—and her husband—place her in hilarious and embarrassing situations, through which she becomes self assured, mannered and lovely, and the birth of her first child brings a joy she never experienced before.But tragedy strikes where least expected, and sows the seeds of an enduring rivalry for Ross Poldark and the powerful George Warleggan, and tests Ross and Demelza's marriage and their love...What Readers are Saying:"Even better than the first book in the series.""Wonderful characters, evocative sense of place and time.""If you haven't read the Poldark series, and care anything for Cornwall, the l8th century, historical romance in its truest form, historical fiction, or just a darn good story that will change your life, then you should read [these books].""The Poldark series is the most powerful reading experience I have ever had.""These books have no equal in historical fiction. I have read them several times and am starting over again."
