About this listen

Demelza is the second book in Winston Graham's hugely popular Poldark series, which has become a television phenomenon starring Aidan Turner.

Demelza Carne, the impoverished miner's daughter Ross Poldark rescued from a fairground rabble, is now his wife. But the events of these turbulent years test their marriage and their love.

Demelza's efforts to adapt to the ways of the gentry – and her husband – bring her confusion and heartache, despite her joy in the birth of their first child. Ross begins a bitter struggle for the rights of the mining communities – and sows the seed of an enduring enmity with powerful George Warleggan.

'From the incomparable Winston Graham . . . who has everything that anyone else has, then a whole lot more' – Guardian

Demelza is followed by Jeremy Poldark, the third title in this blockbuster series set in 18th century Cornwall.

Highly recommended 2nd book in the Poldark series.
You will enjoy the read whether or not you saw the tv series.
A book of highs and terrible lows: of love and hatred, of starvation and plenty. Of class divide and of humanity. A raw book of life as it was in the late 1700s.

Cornwall saga full of struggles & emotion.
