Bella Poldark (Pan Macmillan)

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 Poldark's 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 Poldark's widowed daughter, who considers remarriage to one of two rival suitors; and, of a murderer who stalks the villages of west Cornwall. 'From the very first lines we tingle with the sense that we are in good hands, transported aby Graham's atmospheric prose back to 1818 and the treacherous coast of craggy Cornwall' - "Daily Mail".
