Cornwall 1818. We continue the tale of Ross & Demelza; of the wayward Valentine Warleggan whose existence keeps open the old wounds of the feud between Ross & George; of Bella the Poldarks youngest daughter whose precocious talent as a singer is encouraged by her old flame Christopher Havergal & by a distinguished French conductor who has more in mind than Bellas music; of Clowance the Poldarks widowed daughter who considers remarriage to one of two rival suitors; & of a murderer who stalks the villages of west Cornwall. From the very first lines we tingle with the sense that we are in good hands transported by Grahams atmospheric prose back to 1818 & the treacherous coast of craggy Cornwall
