Oh, this series keeps getting better and better - what a lovely ending!
The characters are so well drawn and the dialogue is so well thought out.

I love Book 4, Warleggan, of the Poldark series almost the best of all the books I've read so far.... Caroline and Dr. Enys have just 'talked' to see if they are suited for each other.

An actual sense of consequences created by the char

In "Warleggan," cousins Ross and Francis embark on an ill-fated partnership to revive the Poldark family mine, Wheal Grace, and free themselves of the influence of their enemy, George Warleggan. When Ross's relationship with Elizabeth deepens, a furious Demelza retaliates by encouraging the attention of a handsome Scottish officer. The relationships between men & women and how easily misunderstandings and damage can occur is a recurring theme in this book. Four stars. ...more
