About this listen
Cornwall in the 1780s - when powerful forces of revolution and reaction are at large in the world. The first in the riveting Poldark series.
Tired from a grim war in America, Ross Poldark returns to his land and his family. But the joyful homecoming he has anticipated turns sour, for his father is dead, his estate is derelict, and the girl he loves is engaged to his cousin. But his sympathy for the destitute miners and farmers of the district leads him to rescue a half-starved urchin girl from a fairground brawl and take her home-an act which alters the whole course of his life....

A pleasant experience of the evolution of a life
I hadn't heard of this before the mini-series started showing on ABC earlier this month. I was intrigued enough to find the book on Audible. I loved how Graham developed the story much as a life unfolds - this step and then this one. Ross Poldark is lovely as a character and the various characters that populate this novel are very human and flawed and enjoyed the gentle step of time. Well worth the read.

Excellent
I've really enjoyed this audio book.
Mr Hembrough does an outstanding job of bringing out the different characters. I thought Judd and the comic relief he provides was especially good. I didn't particularly care for Demelza's voice (although I'm sure it was much more realistic that the sanitized TV version voice..), but overall the performance is excellent.
Highly recommended for fans of the TV show. It covers roughly the first 4 episodes of the first series of the current TV Poldark. However, the books are so much richer and subtler in their characterizations. We get Ross' and Demelza's thoughts and impressions that just cannot be conveyed on screen. There is a gentleness and flow to the whole story which draws you in.

Boring
I found it really hard to finish, just a boring story, nothing exciting no climax. maybe it's just not for me.
