As with the first book in this series (Ross Poldark), Demelza was another page turner with Grahams excellent writing style drawing the reader into the lives of the characters in 18th century Cornwall... on to the next book, Jeremy Poldark!

Un gran libro. Ha sido una lectura muy intensa, complicada de dejar de leer. Demelza sin duda es la gran protagonista aunque Ross sigue siendo el mejor personaje, tan complejo y con tantas aristas y contradicciones...
Definitivamente adoro cómo escribe Winston Graham, siempre con la frase perfecta a mano, diciendo lo justo sin florituras y, sin embargo, expresando todo de un modo muy bello y sutil.
Adoro la historia, los personajes y lo que he leído. Estoy deseando seguir sus andanzas y sufrir con ellos (porque no hay duda de que se acercan tiempos más revueltos aún)

I liked this book better than the first, as more subplots and characters were developed. It left off very abruptly, which was dissatisfying, but a good way to get me to read the 3rd book!

This book continued on the series. It was a darker and a bit gloomier than the first. There were also unexpected episodes of humor that helped lighten the book. It is still a very well written series and I would like to read the next in the series.

3.5 ⭐ = Quite Good.
I didn't enjoy this quite as much as I enjoyed the first in the series. Nevertheless, a decent read.
I could visualise the rugged coastline of Cornwall. 😁

Really enjoying reading this series, Demelza was a bit slower paced than Ross Poldark, but I flew through nevertheless. The ending of this book was very emotional.
