The love that Ross and Demelza shared and how they matured together. It was so interesting how they brought up their children and seeing how they each developed. I loved the story!

The final argument between Ross and Demelza, a happy ending at last!
Reviewed: 04-28-24
Hearing the thoughts of the different characters added to the story line. Elizabeth appears to make mistake after mistake, whereas Delmelza deals with what life hands her regardless of difficulty. Ross grows and matures thanks to Delmelza. All in all a great love story full of history, drama and true to the times.
