Ross Poldark by Winston Graham
4.0
I really love this book! I only took a star away because I am not a fan of GD's, though I believe there was only one in the enter 314 pages. The profanity was very reserved and not accosting, to the general gentility of the time in my perspective. The romantic scenes were tasteful and tame. It could be related to the old idea of wind blowing through the curtains, if that much, though expressed in such a romantic tone it neither felt like it went to far or was too little to know if anything actually happened. The relationships were great especially when they became catty.
I read a lot of old books, Dumas, Dickens, Austen and this is definitely in the same vain. There is a romance to it and a sweet antiqued verbiage, mix with a touch of modern that would make this great for someone who wants to read older books, but can't get over their oldness :)
I could hardly put it down and I am one to admit when I am ready a book by sheer willpower.
I watched the 1975 version of the Poldark series about 14 years ago and it made me want to read the books. I am happy I finally have and have already gone searching to get more! Very happy!
