In this new book Lo Straniero Venuto dal Mare, The Stranger from the Sea, by Winston Graham
We had left a situation in progress and populated by a lot of tensions, in the previous chapter, La Furia della Marea.
Ross fought against a playboy who searched to steal the heart of his wife. Wife with which Ross had some problems at the moment, but that, surely, did not want to lose. His most important flame was also thinking that maybe the kid she had had was Ross's kid.
Time passed by and in this new book, we are in 1810, so ten years later the events told in the previous book, La Furia della Marea, Ross is fighting in the napoleonic wars; his wife is waiting anxiously for his arrival. Their situation is much more happy, relaxed and they sorted out their problems. In this new book a great space is dedicated to the two children of Ross and Demelza, Drake and Morwenna.
Their general situation is happy till at the arrival of a stranger, brought by the sea thanks to a wreck, called Stephen Carrington. Stephen starts to live in the house of Poldark and obviously the children of Ross and Demelza appreciate a lot this new man; Drake appreciates his adventures, his passionate character. The same daughter of Poldark although surrounded by a lot of boys, will be attracted by Stephen. But...You know the story...The same Stephen is hiding something...
Beautiful, fascinating book, rich of adventures and with great characters. If you search for escapism thanks to a good adventure, the saga of the Poldark will be the great answer for these days of lockdown.
The saga of the Poldark family became with the time a tv series; the latest one, realized just few years ago is on Sky, channel 135.
The cover of the book is amazingly beauty!!!
I thank Marsilio for the physical copy of this book.
