About this listen

The Black Moon is the fifth novel in Winston Graham's sweeping series of Cornwall, Poldark.

Cornwall, 1794. The birth of a son to Elizabeth and George Warleggan serves only to accentuate the rift between the Poldark and Warleggan families. And when Morwenna Chynoweth, now governess to Elizabeth's eldest son, grows to love Drake Carne, Demelza's brother, the enduring rivalry between George and Ross finds a new focus for bitter enmity and conflict.

Critic Reviews

"From the incomparable Winston Graham...who has everything that anyone else has, then a whole lot more." ( Guardian)
All stars

Wonderful! Took a little time to get into but soon had me hooked. The ending has me looking forward to the saga continuing. The narration is as artful as the previous instalments of the Poldark books, the character voices bringing the story to life as before. Recommended for anyone who has enjoyed the previous Poldark stories. I only gave four stars because it's a little slow at times with the telling of historical details I felt irrelevant to the lives of the characters but that's not to be a great deterrent. I'm straight onto the next installment!
