In early 1815 all of England is relieved peace has come at last. Lord Liverpool wants Ross to go on a little unofficial spying mission to Paris, bringing his family as a cover.

His dramatic escape causes trouble for the Poldarks and their friends and life will never be the same again. Back in Cornwall, Clowance's husband harbors secrets and George Warleggan weave

This one was very good and I felt moved much quicker than some other ones. I loved them being in Paris and even once R/D became separated (through no choice of their own), the story still moved well enough thanks to the side stories.
I for one was soooo happy to see Stephan go and I had a hunch about Jeremy as well. It was very sad, but he was never my favorite character I have to admit. I can't wait to see how this comes together onscreen though! Another side story I lo ...more

The first half of this book is mostly set in Paris, and I have to admit I was really missing Cornwall. But the second half of the book was so good and so emotionally involving. I love these characters so much, especially Ross and Demelza and their children. Parenting doesn’t end when the children are grown and you see how beautifully Ross and Demelza try to be present to support all of their children’s various needs. Graham also really delves once again into the complexities of grief and loss. H
