SPOILER ALERT!
This book was a gross disappointment after the other delightful Poldark books, mainly because:
a. it focuses too much on war and especially politics; and
b. it leaves out so many characters we've come to love.
After all the time spent on Drake in past books, we get a one liner that he and Morwenna are living away, have one child (guess she got over being touched), and work in Ross' boatyard? And Sam has wooed and won Rosina Hoblyn, but that's about all we hear about them? Almost noth ...more

"Save a stranger from the sea and he will turn your enemee."
The Stranger from the Sea (book 8 of the Poldark saga) begins ten years after book 7, The Angry Tide, ended. Life has continued for our familiar inhabitants of Cornwall. Children have grown and more children have been born and the author cleverly catches us up on all the occurences by a chance reunion and conversation in Portugal on the eve of a battle between French and British forces.

Cornwall 1810-1811
Ten years has passed since we last saw Ross Poldark.
After his duel with Monk Addlerly and Elizabeth's death, Ross felt discontented with Parliament and wanted to quit. Lord Falmouth wouldn't hear of it but they found reasons to send Ross abroad to do some information gathering. His missions have been dangerous and he longs to return to the arms of his loving Cornish wife yet his spirit is still a bit restless. The children have grown up and are trying to find their own directi ...more

Just as good years later as when WG first started! I enjoyed seeing Jeremy and clowance struggle with their love lives, it will continue to make interesting reading as the books go on! I love Jeremy and hope he keeps his gentle spirit..I don't like Stephan though and don't trust him! I can't believe no one sees through his lies! If anyone can its Ross and demelza... They already knew he lied about his ship story and yet they will consider him a good suitor for clowance? So I'm hoping in the next

Perhaps it was the first in the series that written years after the first lot, but the story lost its umph from the get go. This book wafts around too much on loose threads and ideas to try and set the scene for the next generation and in doing so is not only boring but feels like I wasted part of my life reading it. Not really wanting to continue with the next books in the new series if they continue to be more of the same. Seriously for me the series should have ended with the previous book. S

Another great book in the Poldark series. This one skips ahead several years to bring the children to near-adulthood.

Bit of a weak ending, but then again this is a 12 book series so the installments have to end somewhere! Poor Lord Edward....
