The ebb and flow of events and relationships among the Poldarks, Warleggans and Chynoweths has held countless readers fascinated through Winston Graham's six splendid novels of 18thC Cornwall, and the outstandingly successful BBC TV 'Poldark' series which has resulted from them. The seventh novel continues the story through the years 1798-9. Ross Poldark has become a Member of Parliament,his interests divided between London and Cornwall,and his heart divided still about his wife Demelza.The rivalry between Ross and his long-standing opponent George Warleggan has not abated,nor has the love between Morwenna Chynoweth,locked in an odious marriage,and Demelza's youngest brother,Drake. These and other situations evolve and develop within a period of eighteen months which leaves nothing and no one unchanged. Winston Graham's unique command of narrative and his perceptiveness in portraying human relationships enable him to unfold the complex interrelated lives of his characters as they are tossed on the tide of events,political,personal and international.It is a tide that sets ever more strongly as the century nears its close,a tide as irresistible as those which thunder up on Hendrawna Beach,and one which Ross is forced to recognize must some day, like time itself, bear all its sons away.And its daughters. Since April 2013,again in March 2015,and in this year too,the UK Post Office has altered it's Pricing in Proportion template,altering it's prices,weight allowances,dimensions and lowered it's qualifying compensation rates too!
