The Angry Tide is the seventh audiobook in Winston Graham's classic Poldark saga, now a major TV series from Masterpiece on PBS. This riveting audiobook will appeal to fans of historical fiction everywhere.

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 . . . .

And with the new century comes much change in the shocking seventh installment of Winston Graham's Poldark series, The Angry Tide.

Critic reviews

"Narrator Oliver Hembrough enhances Winston Graham's stellar writing in this seventh installment of a 12-part series...Hembrough effectively delivers the vivid descriptions of Poldark's two different lives, one in cosmopolitan London and the other in Truro, where the peace of the countryside is a welcome change for him. ... embrough's skill at building suspense will terrify listeners...In contrast, a heartbreaking love letter and the recipient's prayers to God will bring tears."

Yet another enthralling dose of Poldark by Graham.

Poetically descriptive storytelling using well-developed characters and unpredictable, dynamic plotlines. Poldark series is a MUST read for historical fiction enthusiasts. A little bit of EPIC romance never hurts either!

One of the Best of the Poldark Series

How Wonderful was the language and the descriptions of every detail that Winston Graham used for The Angry Tide. One could get lost in the Beautiful words and sentences that Mr. Graham gave. He must have been at his peak while writing this book. I also compliment the Narrator’s voice. Well done, Oliver J. Hembrough.

A sea of life’s trials and triumphs

Winston Graham’s characters are so human and full of life’s living. A captivating tale that causes the reader to want to jump into the narrative and warn or cheer or sob.

Brilliant!

I wish to take the wisdom from Demelza and apply it to my own life

I love the Poldark books.

The narrator was amazing and this was one of the better Poldark books. I enjoyed the plot and there were some twists that I did not anticipate. I am pretty good at predicting most books, but there were some things that I did not predict. If you like poldark books you will like this one.
