Resumen del Editor

Bella Poldark is the 12th and final audiobook in Winston Graham's sweeping series of Cornwall, Poldark.

Cornwall, 1818. We continue the tale of Ross and Demelza; of the wayward Valentine Warleggan, whose existence keeps open the old wounds of the feud between Ross and George; of Bella, the Poldarks' youngest daughter, whose precocious talent as a singer is encouraged by her old flame, Christopher Havergal, and by a distinguished French conductor who has more in mind than Bella's music; of Clowance, the Poldarks' widowed daughter, who considers remarriage to one of two rival suitors; and of a murderer who stalks the villages of West Cornwall.

"From the very first lines we tingle with the sense that we are in good hands, transported by Graham's atmospheric prose back to 1818 and the treacherous coast of craggy Cornwall." ( Daily Mail)

I'm in mourning.....

Would you listen to Bella Poldark: A Novel of Cornwall 1818-1820 again? Why?

I will listen to this novel and the series probably several more times.

Who was your favorite character and why?

All of them.

Which character – as performed by Oliver J. Hembrough – was your favorite?

Too hard to pick...he did a great job with all of them.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Steven Carrington died. I felt like Clowance was FINALLY sprung from his trap.

Any additional comments?

What am I going to do? In the backstage of my life resides Delmelza, Ross, George, Elizabeth, Dwight, Caroline........Their personalities and thoughts have permeated my mind. The series has ended and I feel a little lost. I look at other books to listen to but it's like breaking up with someone you really liked; no one else comes close. Maybe to ease the seperation I'll go read some Jane Austen......

When is the next book?

I loved this book best of all. I didn’t want it to end. I want to know about Bella and her children and about Ross and Demelza. Will there be more about little George and Henry? Will they be friends like Frances and Ross or will they be like George and Ross? Will Georgie take his rightful name Poldark?

Another great book by Winston Graham!

I have enjoyed the series very much. This book is no exception. Thank you very much Audiobook.

Great performance

Hembrough is superb! He brings a good story to life. His skill with the many voices accents and language is amazing.

Almost sad to have the story end.

I have read the entire series and just couldn't wait to see what happens next.

Great books

I didn’t want this to finish as I knew it was the last one and wished that there was one more about the family and what became of them all. But 12 of the best books I have ever listened to

Poldark series

The Poldark series 8-12 is a must listen for fans of the recent BBC Poldark series. In fact, the entire Poldark series of 12 books gives a lot of additional details that were not included in the television series. Very enjoyable and the narrator was very good to listen to.

I can't believe it's OVER

I've listened to all 12 books - straight through and watched the 3 seasons of Poldark. When this book ended yesterday I cried! 240 hours of being with the Poldark family ended way too soon. I wish there would have been a nice synopsis of what happened in the future to all the major characters instead of just Bella. This series could go on for a few more books - at least until Ross and Deleza die! Today I feel a homesick like feeling - the first drive to work without them in quite some time.

So sorry to say goodbye

Thoroughly enjoyed this series and the narration of Oliver Hembrough. Intriguing characters and a compelling storyline held my attention throughout the series. So sorry it’s over!

Continues the Poldark enchantment

I love this series of books. The performance is as always excellent. I cannot imagine anyone else reading this series. The story keeps you wondering what will be next. There are a few surprises along the way too. Clearly this was never meant to be the last book.
