The Rise of Warleggan

The Poldarks go from bad to worse as Warleggan becomes a dominant figure in this novel. This book is beautifully done and Oliver J. Hembrough is an excellent narrator. Ross's misfortunes does pull you down and it is like nothing is going right for him but hang in there, there is a silver lining to his mining efforts, well not quite silver.
