Explanation Concering Books The Black Moon (The Poldark Saga #5)

As always, Winston Graham has crafted a completely absorbing addition to the Poldark family saga, and in this one he took me along back into the 1700’s of Cornwall and France – a willing and eager passenger.

Ross Poldark’s old flame and his deceased cousin’s wife, now married to Ross’ worst enemy George Warleggan, gives birth to a son exactly at the time of ‘the black moon’, and George names him Valentine. Elizabeth hires her young cousin as governess for Geoffrey Charles, her 11 year old son with Francis, Ross’ deceased cousin.

Demelza’s second-oldest brother, Sam, and her youngest brother, Drake, come to Ross and Demelza’s home to ask for jobs. Sam is a devout Methodist and Drake is of the same faith but still young in his devotions. Drake meets Geoffrey Charles and his attractive governess, Morwenna, and a lovely friendship is cemented between the three. It is a friendship fated to be a major source of further conflict between the Warleggan and Poldark families. Demelza and Ross have a baby girl and name her Clowance.

Although the revolution in France has now extended to a war over the Netherlands, there seem to be more than enough Republicans to fight on several fronts. Ross selects 7 friends to go with him to France in an attempt to free a close friend of the family from the horrid prison that has been his home for the last year. Their plan is a good one: to coat-tail their landing in France on the Royalists’ attempt to take back control of their homeland. However, it turns into an incredibly harrowing experience for almost all of them.

There are more disturbing experiences and sad times on the home front. George Warleggan, for all that he wants to gain the trust and admiration of everyone in the county – and beyond, if he can – makes some bitter enemies as he wrong-foots his way on his imaginary ladder to success. In the end, an ancient woman defies him by whispering some seeds of doubt and trouble that almost immediately begin to sprout in George’s stubborn, yet fragile psyche.

When I start one of these novels, it is a challenge to do anything else but read and become tangled up in these family’s lives. Winston Graham is a master story-teller, and I love the feeling of mining the historical details that he slips into the story and weaves through it like shimmering threads, both informing and confirming.

I am once again looking forward to the next novel in this remarkable series which I will read next month.

Evaluation Based On Books The Black Moon (The Poldark Saga #5)

Winston Graham has done it again. Managed to pull me back into this time and place, among people that I love and hate, give me high adventure and simple pleasures, and continue the saga that just gets better and better. I will admit that this one started out rather slowly, possibly because the author took a 20 year hiatus between the last book and this one. He explained in a forward that he had grown tired of the novels and wanted to explore different styles of writing, but the characters kept

The author's note in the beginning of this book tells us he originally ended this series after 4 books. Then after many years...he wanted to know what happened to these characters in Cornwall after that last Christmas. This book is the book he wrote after all those years. He went on to make the series 12 books. I am so happy that he did! At first.....I was a little worried. New characters were introduced and then that bloody war...I wanted to get back to just my favorite characters.

The Black Moon wasn't as good as the previous four parts. But I still love this series and I can't wait till I'll read the next parts.

Actual review: 4.5 We cant alter the world, we can only adapt ourselves to it. I have quite a soft spot for the Poldarks and their extended family. The characters, the storylines and the drama is subtly interwoven in such a way that keeps me invested. Although not as good as the previous book, I was glad to see the characters move forward from the mess that had previously occurred. I did miss a few characters in this installment, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked the additional

Ross Poldark prospers at last! He is content at Nampara with his wife, whom he has tried steadfastly to prove his devotion, his son and a good mine. He attempts to ignore George Warleggan sitting in the Poldark family home at Trenwith. George, delighted with his new son, tries to arrange his famiy life to his satisfaction. Trying to extricate Geoffrey Charles from his mother, hires Elizabeth's cousin Morwenna Chynoweth to be the boy's governess. Dwight Enys has gone to see and taken prisoner by

"Blemishes on the beauty of a person one loves are like grace notes adding something to a piece of music." Have I mentioned before that I am completely wild about the Poldark series?! Well, I am! I am much like that slightly annoying, lovesick friend that wont stop raving about her latest crush. In my case, the love affair is with a bunch of books written by the gifted author, Winston Graham. I know, embarrassing, right? A woman of my age carrying on in such an unseemly manner Fortunately, dear

Watching Ross and Demelza's love grow and develop is what makes these books worth reading. I thought Demelza said something insightful on page 246: You see, Ross, in every right marriage, in every good marriage a woman has to be three things, don't she? She's got to be wife and look after a man's comforts in the way a man should be looked after. Then she's got to bear his children and get all swelled up like a summer pumpkin and then often-times feed them after and smell of babies and have them
