The Angry Tide

De: Winston Graham

Narrado por: Oliver J. Hembrough

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

Cornwall, towards the end of the 18th century. Ross Poldark sits for the borough of Truro as Member of Parliament – his time divided between London and Cornwall, his heart divided about his wife, Demelza.

His old feud with George Warleggan still flares – as does the illicit love between Morwenna and Drake, Demelza's brother.

Before the new century dawns, George and Ross will be drawn together by a loss greater than their rivalry – and Morwenna and Drake by a tragedy that brings them hope . . .

The Angry Tide is followed by the eighth book in the Poldark series, The Stranger From The Sea.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Ross is one of literature's great heroes . . . [with] elements of Darcy, Heathcliff, Rhett Butler and Robin Hood (Debbie Horsfield)

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

Great Performance of an Excellent Series

Would you listen to The Angry Tide again? Why?

I have always enjoyed the Poldark series by Winston Graham. He's a marvellous story teller and his writing so beautifully descriptive that when I finally got to visit Cornwall some years ago, I felt I had been there before! I have read all the books at least twice and I'm now enjoying the Audible experience and it's like reading them all for the first time again. I do hope Audible completes the series as they are all good and the story never gets stale as there are always new characters to get to know.

Jealousy, pain, pettiness, and loss

success comes from learning about one's own place in society, and nothing matters without trust.

performance easy to follow the context

loved the book and the narrators way of reading
could listen to it all over again

Nice development of the story

Characters have grown, plot remains interesting, twist are not expectable and performance excellent. This is where the original TV series ends as there where no more books to produce and the next book is 10 years later. Interesting how this is done. I enjoyed this book and if you are into this series, then you will not be disappointed with this book.

One of my faves! Winston + Oliver = #winning !

"It was windy. The pale afternoon sky was shredded with clouds..." Yep, I can quote those first few delicious lines of The Angry Tide, but I'd much rather listen to the amazing Oliver Hembrough croon it to me through my AirPods! It's even changed my attitude about exercise. Now I can't WAIT to get outside and walk up some really steep hills. Instead of listening to my own gasping for breath, I get to lose myself in the Poldark series of books. Fantastic writing and fabulous narration! My dream vacation is to travel to Cornwall and enjoy the amazing scenery (aka brood on a cliff in Ross-style) while listening to these books! :)
