A review by allisonjpmiller
Ross Poldark by Winston Graham

3.0

Lovely writing and intricate characterization, but I wasn't entirely comfortable with certain aspects of Ross and Demelza's relationship, and I don't like the final sentiment we're left with re: Verity and Captain Blarney (regardless of how their story may evolve in the future). It's hard to tell if Graham is making excuses for these things or simply letting his characters do so. Sometimes they feel like mouthpieces, sometimes not. It bugs me enough that I'll probably pick up the next book at some point, for clarity's sake. ;P
