Ross Poldark by Winston Graham

4.0

4.5 stars. I admit, I had never heard of this book or show until just a couple months ago. The premise looked interesting, so my husband and I watched the first episode of the PBS show. We were immediately sucked in and that's when I discovered that the show was based on a series of novels. Being a book nerd, I was eager to read the books and see how they compared to the show.

I'm so glad I picked up this book. The show stays quite true to the novel and the novel gives so much added depth and richness to the show. It was also helpful to gain a greater perspective of time passing in the novel since the time lapse can be quite difficult to follow through the show. I am eager to go on with the second novel in the series and pick up on more adventures of the Poldark family.
