A review by corvinaq
Ross Poldark by Winston Graham
4.0
On the one hand, this is kind of an extravagantly corny book. It's a big, old-fashioned scenery-chomping melodrama. Various SHOCKING things occur out of the blue with no rhyme or reason except for the "eeeeeeee" factor. There is entirely too much use of the word "enpurpled." Why does everyone in this book have gout? There's also some side-eye from me on various characters' ruminations on theoretical wife-spanking and wife-beating.
But this book doesn't take itself too seriously mostly. It's a melodrama with HIGH good humor and enthusiasm. The scenery was chomped with such gusto and joy I ended up quite enjoying the book. I will read the sequel!
