Critics Review
Ross is one of literature’s great heroes … [with] elements of Darcy, Heathcliff, Rhett Butler and Robin Hood
Ross is one of literature’s great heroes … [with] elements of Darcy, Heathcliff, Rhett Butler and Robin Hood – Debbie Horsfield, writer of BBC One’s PoldarkFrom the incomparable Winston Graham … who has everything that anyone else has, then a whole lot more * The Guardian *The plot roars along as the sea crashes, rain lashes and wild winds whip up the spume. I swear you can almost hear the screaming gulls * Daily Mail *Die-hard Poldark fans take note: if the TV series is not enough for you, there are 12 (yes, 12) novels in the original series … Love rivalry, war, class struggles - it’s a rich soup of discontent, and there are some blistering lines in the books * The Times *Steeped in humour, romance, passion and tragedy, the Poldark books are as exciting and fresh as they are timeless and memorable. Don’t miss them! * Lancashire Evening Post *
