Chronicle During Books The Stranger from the Sea (The Poldark Saga #8)

Time marches on for the Poldarks and all of their neighbours. This story begins 11 years after the ending of the previous novel. Elizabeth Warleggan’s eldest son, Charles Geoffrey, is a soldier in the Peninsular war – another long-term confrontation between the aggression of Napoleon’s empire in his attempts to take control of all of Europe, and the defense of the English and Irish - in this case, to aid Portugal in their struggle to maintain control of the Iberian Peninsula.

Ross Poldark, in his role as a Member of Parliament, is sent to observe the fighting and when he returns, his report has an influence that ripples outward and agitates the surface of several different areas.

George Warleggan makes an uncharacteristically faulty business move that puts him in a vulnerable position. Will Ross Poldark finally have an opportunity for revenge on his lifelong enemy?

Demelza Poldark’s heart is torn between the desire to protect her children and the knowledge that they must be allowed to follow their own hearts . . . even if they might be broken. Son Jeremy falls in love – with a young woman, but also with high-pressure steam and what it could mean for the future. Daughter Clowance has emerged as a great beauty who is pursued by several young men – and coveted by some who are much older.

Ross is able to regain some property he lost many years before. Will it prove to be a success this second time around?

As always, Winston Graham’s writing breathes life and energy and reality into the locales and personalities within this novel. It is now the beginning of the 1800’s, and although advances and setbacks in politics, invention, and social constructs continue their macabre dance, there is hope that the advances will eventually emerge victorious.

Once again I am eager to begin the next novel in this series – to continue following the ebb and flow of the tides of history in conjunction with the fortunes and misfortunes of the families Winston Graham has created.

Column Epithetical Books The Stranger from the Sea (The Poldark Saga #8)

SPOILER ALERT!This book was a gross disappointment after the other delightful Poldark books, mainly because: a. it focuses too much on war and especially politics; andb. it leaves out so many characters we've come to love.After all the time spent on Drake in past books, we get a one liner that he and Morwenna are living away, have one child (guess she got over being touched), and work in Ross' boatyard? And Sam has wooed and won Rosina Hoblyn, but that's about all we hear about them? Almost

Difficult read for me. Too many new characters introduced without continuity from the previous book IMO.

3.5 stars. Although this book marks a significant transition to the younger generation of Poldarks and Warleggans, theres still a satisfying number of pages with Ross and Demelza and George Warleggan. Its 1810 and the kings madness has returned. There is rampant speculation that a Regency will bring about a change of government and an immediate end to the war. Warleggan is one of the speculators, and his unwise investment marks one of the few times we see him stumble. Warleggan is a bastard,

Clearly a "set-up" for events to come, this book hops over a decade or so to start the stories of the second generation. To be fair, after the ending of the near-perfect book seven, I fully understand that temptation. Yet -- although most of the previous characters still are around -- the personalities of the children need to work up a head of "steam" before any of them become quite as distinct. As a result, only one thing of consequence (brilliantly slipping Ross into early 19th Century high

More than 10 years have passed since the events of the previous book, and things in this 8th part of this amazing series seem to be quiet as our well-known protagonists of our istory seem determined to move on with their lives, stopping stirring the old passions. Of course in the midst of the Napoleonic wars, quiet is a relative term, and inevitably developments on the battlefield have an indirect or direct impact on people's lives, especially when they tend to want to be at the heart of events.

Book Eight of the Poldark Series, The Stranger from the Sea takes place ten years after Book Seven, The Angry Tide. I was concerned that this would mean an abrupt transition from the story of Ross and Demelza to that of the next generation. I have had this happen with other sagas and found it disconcerting. Not to fear, Winston Graham knows precisely how to tell a story with continuity and progress mixed in perfect proportions.Life has continued apace since we left Ross at a moment of sadness,

I thoroughly enjoyed all the previous Poldark books - I've always felt that I was in the hands of a master romance spinner. With Winston Graham, I could just sit back, relax and lose myself in the story.However, the beginning of Stranger from the Sea made me a bit nervous. The book gets off to a wobbily start with lots of exposition. You get the feeling the author rushed through the first half of the book while his editor was on vacation. He uses "inimical" twice within a couple pages which
