Demelza: A Novel of Cornwall, 1788–1790
by Winston Graham
Set in Cornwall from 1788-1790, Demelza is the second book in [a:Winston Graham|5179|Winston Graham|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1253301260p2/5179.jpg]'s Poldark Saga.
The focus of this book is on Demelza Carne, the wife of Ross Poldark. Rescued by Ross as a child from a fight, she grew up as a servant in his home. Now a young woman, she and Ross are married.
Coming from humble origins, Demelza negotiates her new position in the gentry with varying success. While her husband, Ross, has increasingly less patience for the powdered heads who are responsible for the injustices done to the mining communities.
This book covers birth, death, adultery, imprisonment, and murder. It even has a fancy ball with gambling, and a shipwreck. I love a good shipwreck!
I’m very excited to move on the the next book in the series. If you’re looking for engrossing historical fiction, I don’t think you can do better than the Poldark Saga.
