Ross Poldark by Winston Graham
4.0
This, friends, is how you start a multi-generational saga.
We meet Ross, home from the war in American, coming to deal with his father's neglected estate. His cousin Elizabeth, with whom he had an understanding, has decided to marry a DIFFERENT cousin. Various other people are unlucky in love. Ross rescues a waif at a fair, and carries her home to work in his kitchen, with no other intent. But, as these things sometimes go, they end up together.
It's quite a good story, though I always find attempts at writing dialect distracting. I'm really curious to know what happens next.
At this time of writing, I haven't seen the new PBS series. I may look it up a bit later.
Recommended.
