Demelza: A Novel of Cornwall, 1788–1790 by Winston Graham
5.0
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT HAPPENED.
I felt this way a few times during this read, particularly at the end. There were a few deaths in this book and two of them in particular I found very disturbing. One was quite satisfying, I must say even as a self-confessed pacifist.
I love this series, absolutely love it. It's funny, tragic, romantic, real. I got a sinking feeling towards the end as the sore throat sickness was spreading through the district.
Quirky supporting characters continued to shine in this follow-up to the brilliant first installment. I just love Jud with his "tedn right, tedn just..." etc.
My thoughts are fragmented in the aftermath of this read but needless to say I am hooked on the series, and am already started on book #3. I'm going to have to stock up on the remaining books so I can just keep churning through.
On a final note, it was good to see at least one "bad guy" get his just desserts in this book.
