The Stranger from the Sea

A Novel of Cornwall, 1810-1811

By: Winston Graham

Narrated by: Oliver J. Hembrough

The Stranger from the Sea is the eighth audiobook in Winston Graham's hugely popular Poldark series, and continues the story after the fifth TV series, which has become an international phenomenon, starring Aidan Turner.

Cornwall 1810. The Poldark family awaits the return of Ross from his mission to Wellington's army in Portugal. But their ordered existence ends with Jeremy Poldark's dramatic rescue of the stranger from the sea.

Stephen Carrington's arrival in the Poldark household changes all their lives. For Clowance and Jeremy in particular, the children of Ross and Demelza, Stephen's advent is the key to a new world – one of both love and danger.

The Stranger from the Sea is followed by the ninth book in the Poldark series, The Miller's Dance.

No ending

This book leaves lots of loose ends. I wish he had wrapped up a few more story lines.

Love and Family

The love that Ross and Demelza shared and how they matured together. It was so interesting how they brought up their children and seeing how they each developed. I loved the story!

Another masterpiece!

Winston Graham did a fabulous job with this series! I feel like I’m there!

Oliver Hembrough does a wonderful job with narration!

Wonderful!

As usual of every Poldark novel. It just pulls you in and before you know it, it’s over and then I’m disappointed.

Abrupt, puzzling and unsatisfying ending to an absorbing novel.

Given the title, the ending was puzzling,out of sorts and unsatisfying. Otherwise, I much enjoyed this historical novel.
