Publisher's summary

The eighth audiobook in Winston Graham's classic Poldark saga, now a major TV series from Masterpiece PBS.

Cornwall, 1810

The Poldark family awaits the return of Ross from his mission to Wellington's army in Portugal. But their ordered existence ends with Jeremy Poldark's dramatic rescue of a stranger from the sea.

Stephen Carrington's arrival in the Poldark household changes all their lives. For Ross and Delmelza's children Clowance and Jeremy in particular, Stephen's advent is the key to a new world - one of both love and danger.

In his Poldark series, author Winston Graham explores the complications of love lost and the class struggle of early 19th-century England with a light, comic touch. The Stranger from the Sea is followed by the ninth audiobook in the Poldark series, The Miller's Dance.

Love and Family

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!

No ending

This book leaves lots of loose ends. I wish he had wrapped up a few more story lines.

Wonderful!

As usual of every Poldark novel. It just pulls you in and before you know it, it’s over and then I’m disappointed.

Poldark

I watch the show and I loved it. But the film market should have finished the show the show. Because they left a lot of questions at the end of the show. I started listening to the book and love it just like I fall in love with the movie.

Bravo!

It's been months and I am starting book twelve after reading The Twisted Sword. I am spell bound and full of the emotions of the characters in this incredible story of the Poldark family and people in the lives. I am most enjoying the historical timeline of the series with details I find myself looking further into. Bravo!
