The Stranger from the Sea

A Novel of Cornwall 1810-1811 (Poldark, Book 8)

De: Winston Graham

Narrado por: Oliver J. Hembrough

The eighth audiobook in Winston Graham's classic Poldark saga, now a major TV series from Masterpiece PBS.

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 a stranger from the sea.

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

In his Poldark series, author Winston Graham explores the complications of love lost and the class struggle of early 19th-century England with a light, comic touch. The Stranger from the Sea is followed by the ninth audiobook 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!

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.

Nothing dramatic happens

And the end does not wrap up the titular concerns. Some romantic tension, but overall disappointing in that many tales began but only set upon a positive/ smooth path. No denouement.

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!
