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.
