About this eBook
The Stranger From the Sea is the eighth novel in Winston Graham's hugely popular Poldark series, and continues the story after the fifth TV series, which has become an international phenomenon, starring Aidan Turner.
Cornwall 1810. The Poldark family awaits the return of Ross from his mission to Wellington's army in Portugal. But their ordered existence ends with Jeremy Poldark's dramatic rescue of a stranger from the sea.
Stephen Carrington's arrival in the Poldark household changes all their lives. For Clowance and Jeremy in particular, the children of Ross and Demelza, Stephen's advent is the key to a new world – one of both love and danger.
The Stranger From The Sea is followed by the ninth book in the Poldark series, The Miller's Dance.

I liked this book àlthough I did get a little bored with the narratives and descriptions of the steam machinery with which Jeremy was so enthralled. I also thought the plot was a little flimsy. I expected there to be lots of details about how the Poldark family had fared in the gap since the last novel, and I was just feeling that at last we were getting some meat on the bones, so to speak, when the story ended! Nevertheless, I am about to start the next novel. I will not be giving up the Poldarks just yet!
