The Twisted Sword

Poldark, Book 11

De: Winston Graham

Narrado por: Oliver J. Hembrough

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"From the incomparable Winston Graham...who has everything that anyone else has, then a whole lot more." ( Guardian)

Heartwrenching

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.

A wild ride

Favorite of all the books I've read so far! Ends beautifully and hope they continue the show to see it played out on tv!

Predictable as well as unpredictable.

Loved the continuing saga of the Poldark family. Imperfect heroes, with true to life twists.

Cried!

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.

Poldark

Loved this book as I have done with the others. Recommend everyone to listen to W Grahams books.

Love Winston Graham's Poldark novels

I have listened to all 12 Winston Graham Poldark novels now! I enjoyed everyone. I wish there were more.

Twisted Sword Great Listening.

Enjoyed every minute of it even she'd a few tears here and there...story line, the best.

Fantastic Series

This series is very well done. All the books have great performances. I would highly recommend!

Such a nourishing escape... and lense.

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.

amazing, compelling series

I didn't want it to end, but never wanted to put it down either.
Love it so much
