Publisher's summary

The second book in the legendary Poldark series. Demelza Carne, the impoverished miner's daughter Ross Poldark rescued from a fairground rabble, is now his wife. But the events of these turbulent years test their marriage and their love.

Demelza's efforts to adapt to the ways of the gentry - and her husband - bring her confusion and heartache despite her joy in the birth of their first child. Ross begins a bitter struggle for the rights of the mining communities - and sows the seed of an enduring enmity with powerful George Warleggan.

Corbett Does Justice to Demelza

Any additional comments?

Clare Corbett does Winston Graham proud. Her accents and pacing are excellent, although her male voices tend to be almost uniformly on the heavy baritone side. I thoroughly enjoyed her interpretation of Jud and Prudie. Would have preferred to have Corbett do the whole series and was disappointed to see that Hembrough is doing the next volume.

The series gets better with every book

Clare Corbett does not do mens voices or characters well but the rest is perfect.
Winston Graham has captured Cornwell and the period so well you are transported back to a time when class mattered and the law as an ass.
I look forward to the next book Jeremy Poldark.
