Synopsis

Bella Poldark marks the twelfth and final audiobook in Winston Graham's classic Poldark saga, now a major TV series from Masterpiece PBS.

Cornwall 1818

We continue the tale of Ross and Demelza; of the wayward Valentine Warleggan, whose existence keeps open the old wounds of the feud between Ross and George; of Bella, the Poldarks' youngest daughter, whose precocious talent as a singer is encouraged by her old flame, Christopher Havergal, and by a distinguished French conductor, who has more in mind than Bella's music; of Clowance, the Poldarks' widowed daughter, who considers remarriage to one of two rival suitors; and of a murderer who stalks the villages of west Cornwall.

In his Poldark series, Winston Graham explores the complications of love lost and the class struggle of early 19th-century England with a light comic touch. Bella Poldark is the final Poldark audiobook.

I watched the two seasons on Masterpiece Theatre and fell in love. When we went to Toronto I bought all the books with the Masterpiece Theatre covers. I practi......more

Goodreads review by Lesley on March 22, 2016

I am a die hard fan of the Poldark Novels, indeed, of everything Winston Graham wrote. I first read 'Ross Poldark" aged 16 and was enraptured from the start. The Cornish countryside lovingly described, the characters believable, lovable or hateful, fully recognisable despite the setting of the 18th......more

**This review actually refers to five books in this series: Stranger From the Sea, The Miller's Dance, The Loving Cup, The Twisted Sword & Bella Poldark** I really have no clue what rock I was living under....I have no excuse. But, up until recently, I had no idea the Poldark series on television is......more

Goodreads review by Christina on August 26, 2015

I thought this was the weakest of the Poldark novels, and definitely a disappointing finale. Far too many new characters were introduced (looking at you, Prideaux and Essie) to no real purpose, and then there was the ludicrous and completely unnecessary Jack the Ripper-esque subplot. Not to mention......more

Goodreads review by QNPoohBear on February 04, 2020

I am utterly bereft and traumatized that this book did not give me the happily-ever-after feeling I was hoping for. The plots were devastating (some of them) and Ross remains an anti-hero after all these years. Cornwall, 1818- The Poldarks are trying to move on with their lives after the death of Je......more
