About this listen

Ross Poldark is a heartwarming, gripping, and utterly entertaining saga that brings to life an unforgettable cast of characters and one of the greatest love stories of our age.

Ross Poldark returns to Cornwall from war, looking forward to a joyful homecoming with his family and his beloved Elizabeth. But instead, he discovers that his father has died, his home is overrun by livestock and drunken servants, and Elizabeth, having believed Ross dead, is now engaged to his cousin. Ross must start over, building a completely new path for his life, one that takes him in exciting and unexpected directions....

Thus begins an intricately plotted story spanning loves, lives, and generations. The Poldark series is the masterwork of Winston Graham, who evoked the period and people like only he could, and created a world of rich and poor, loss and love, that listeners will not soon forget.

Great read

I loved the masculinity and unplumbed depths of this character , Ross, but there is so much more that will remain a mystery to us and probably to the character as he learns that the ruby above price is already his own
I can't wait for the next book

Beautiful

Fabulous narrator, beautiful story line can't wait for the next in the series. Differs from the PBS Series a bit but I liked it better because the characters are developed thoroughly and the relationships are explained.

A good absorbing read.

I just discovered this author and story, through watching a couple PBS episodes. I'll definately continue this audible series. The narrator is quite good.

Ross as Ross really is!

This is one of my favorite books, its like an old friend that you really enjoy spending time with. Masterpiece is wonderful, but you don't really get to know the real Ross as Winston Graham meant for us to meet. You really don't understand how much Ross loves Demelza until you take the time to read the book and how Ross sees her in his eyes. Oliver Hembrough does the most wonderful job of bringing all of the characters alive, he is my favorite narrator of all.
