The rugged, windswept Cornish coast is a vivid landscape to countless readers, thanks to the vigorous pen of Winston Graham. Now the masterful storyteller continues the Poldark family saga with a fresh, new generation of heroes and heroines, rogues and villains.
Tales of ambition and romance intertwine with a narrative of England's political confusion in 1810. War with France and ailing King George III demands Ross Poldark's presence in London, while in Cornwall the lives of his children, Jeremy and Clowance, are profoundly changed by the arrival of a handsome newcomer to their shores.
When Jeremy saves the shipwrecked Stephen Carrington from drowning, he does no heed an old Cornish rhyme advising, "Save a stranger from the sea/And he will turn your enemee." For Jeremy finds a comrade in the adventurous Stephen, and Clowance an ardent suitor. Yet Stephen's dubious enterprises, his abrupt disapperance and dramatic reapperance, and his elusive past are the ingredients for mystery in the further adventures in the Winston Graham's famous story cycle.
The passing of years has rendered the fiery rivalry between Ross Poldark and George Warleggan into a ember's glow. But will the children of this infamous pair smother or feed the smoldering remains of hatred and jelousy? THE STRANGER FROM THE SEA, replete with dramatic possibilities, promises to keep Poldark fans in speculation and high suspense.
