About this listen

The Twisted Sword is the eleventh novel in Winston Graham's hugely popular Poldark series, which has become a television phenomenon starring Aidan Turner.

Cornwall 1815. Demelza sees a horseman riding down the valley and senses disruption to the domestic contentment she has fought so hard to achieve. For Ross has little option but to accept the summons – and travel to Paris with his family, as an 'observer' of the French armed forces.

Parisian life begins well with an exhilarating round of balls and parties. But the return of Napoleon brings separation, distrust and danger to the Poldarks . . . and always for Demelza there is the shadow of the secret she does not even share with Ross.

The Twisted Sword is followed by Bella Poldark.

This was one of my favorites of the Poldark series. The description of the Battle of Waterloo was haunting and broke my heart. The characters and relationships have been so beautifully crafted and developed that you cannot help but be drawn in. The performance by Mr. Hemsbrough will take yoir breath away.

Predictable as well as unpredictable.

By far the saddest book of the series. I had to pull my car over to weep at a certain point in the story. The performance of the audio is outstanding, expressing all the high voltage emotions in this particular novel.

Cried!

Now I move on to the last in the series: Bella Poldark.

These novels are such a refuge from the ugliness and confusion of our current times
Clearly there was as much mess and overwhelm in the late 1700s n early 1800s... and Graham does not avoid the challenges of that era.
But he portrays the Cornwall (and French) countryside and folk of low and high station with such lush verbal artistry, that I come away seeing more the beauty in my current suroundings and doings much more.

I treasure escaping to the absorbing and beautiful world Graham has fashioned... and the way I find greater value in my "today" his artistry tunes me to.

Such a nourishing escape... and lense.
