Publisher's Summary
Bella Poldark is the 12th and final audiobook in Winston Graham's sweeping series of Cornwall, Poldark.
Cornwall, 1818. We continue the tale of Ross and Demelza; of the wayward Valentine Warleggan, whose existence keeps open the old wounds of the feud between Ross and George; of Bella, the Poldarks' youngest daughter, whose precocious talent as a singer is encouraged by her old flame, Christopher Havergal, and by a distinguished French conductor who has more in mind than Bella's music; of Clowance, the Poldarks' widowed daughter, who considers remarriage to one of two rival suitors; and of a murderer who stalks the villages of West Cornwall.
"From the very first lines we tingle with the sense that we are in good hands, transported by Graham's atmospheric prose back to 1818 and the treacherous coast of craggy Cornwall." ( Daily Mail)Critic Reviews

I can't believe it's OVER
I've listened to all 12 books - straight through and watched the 3 seasons of Poldark. When this book ended yesterday I cried! 240 hours of being with the Poldark family ended way too soon. I wish there would have been a nice synopsis of what happened in the future to all the major characters instead of just Bella. This series could go on for a few more books - at least until Ross and Deleza die! Today I feel a homesick like feeling - the first drive to work without them in quite some time.

Sad that it’s over, but so satisfied!
This series of Winston Graham’s has been a constant friend for over a year. When traveling full time you can sometimes feel a loss of a permanent community, but this series has been a sort of family for me. I’ve loved every bit of it down to the very last sentence. I began to be attached to this story through the PBS Masterpiece series, but had to read the books to have more. The narrator, Oliver J. Hembrough did a masterful job to the point where the voices matched that of the Masterpiece actors so closely that I could envision the show in my head while listening. Just marvelous!!! My only criticism of this series is that it had to end. I wish it could go on, but now I’m going to go watch the rest of the Masterpiece series and see how well they follow and give honor to the books :)

Will they be friends like Frances and Ross or will they be like George and Ross? Will Georgie take his rightful name Poldark?

A Delightful Dozen
Having just completed all 12 Poldark novels, I am, as listeners may identify with, a little saddened. Coming to the end of a series of fabulous reads comes with the realisation that in reaching the finish line, your pleasure is also at an end and the search must begin for your next focus.
Oliver Hembrough does a beautiful job with all in Winston Graham's series. His natural ability to voice a West Country accent in an authentic way is admirable and adds much to the enjoyment for listeners. The voicing of Ross and Demelza in particular is so consistently done that they become familiar friends over the course of the books. His background in the dramatic arts leads him to be able to portray the events and emotions extremely effectively. There were one or two occasions where I questioned the pronunciation of certain words in the text and similarly in the use of the punctuation to apply meaning in certain passages but these were minimal over the reading of many many chapters and that was me being picky. I did squirm at his voicing of George Warleggan for whom he chose an overly affected and smarmy voice. However, maybe, with George's desire for social climbing, he would have tried to be more affected than his high born adversaries.
Bella is a great story about the youngest and most gregarious Poldark daughter's journey to fulfil her ambition as a singer/actress of note. The listener journeys with the Poldarks on the trials and tribulations involved. The book also ties up the loose ends with other key characters and does finally suggest answers to the questions of Valentine Warleggan's parentage from the point of view of those closest to him. The warmth and realism of relationships between all Graham's characters stands out, as always, in his books. I shall miss the Poldarks but if I cannot replace them, I may need to delve right back to the start of their story as, for me, finishing the series is like missing loved ones.
