Bella Poldark by Winston Graham

4.0

Having finally reached the end of this wonderful series I’m feeling rather bereft. It has pretty much everything a good read should have: beautiful descriptive writing, humour and pathos, deeply flawed yet mostly likeable, if not loveable characters and plenty of conflict, adventure and mystery, and to cap it all off, well-researched political and social history. Most of all, however is the author’s ability to make the reader care about what happens to the characters, and to inhabit their lives, homes and communities. I feel as though I’ve just said goodbye to old and dear friends.
