This is a re-read for me and I enjoyed every word of it. I always find it surprising when revisiting a novel or a movie as the years have past my attitudes to the stories has changed. Different things appeal and others fail to irritate. Even my moral compass seems to have shifted, perhaps I am less judgemental as i have aged. I certainly see things differently as a mother of adult children to when I was the mother of very young children.

About four years ago I got nostalgic and re-watched the whole series and started reading the books. When I found out that the BBC had cast my favorite sexy dwarf as Poldark in a new production of course I was excited.
