As the second decade of the nineteenth century advances,and the first gleam of light pierces the war clouds which have for so long hung over Europe and by now have darkened even distant Cornwall,the driving force of life and the pressure of industrial change propel the Poldarks inexorably into a new age.
It is an age in which the generation headed by Jeremy and Clowance must find its own,sometimes unexpected,solutions to the frustrations of unsuccessful invention,unreturned love,and plain lack of money to pursue their own ends,while their parents are occupied in adjusting to certain startling developments in their own lives. It is only occasionally that Ross,watching the young people,is uneasily reminded of a recurring pattern which may perpetuate in the future the bitter rivalries of the past; that Demelza presciently fears for something more than the mere happiness of her children; that violence casts its long shadow over all their lives.
The ninth volume of Winston Graham's Poldark saga is as vigorous and as full of
new beginnings as life itself,which ends a
chapter - or a volume - only to begin again.
