Summary

The Angry Tide is the seventh novel in Winston Graham's sweeping series of Cornwall, Poldark.

Cornwall, towards the end of the 18th century. Ross Poldark sits for the borough of Truro as Member of Parliament - his time divided between London and Cornwall, his heart divided about his wife, Demelza.

His old feud with George Warleggan still flares, as does the illicit love between Morwenna and Drake, Demelza's brother. Before the new century dawns, George and Ross will be drawn together by a loss greater than their rivalry and Morwenna and Drake by a tragedy that brings them hope....

I love this saga!

If you could sum up The Angry Tide in three words, what would they be?

I

Even

What did you like best about this story?

As usual with these novels I love how human relations are not unidimensional. Many authors tend to present the character's relationships and feelings as a bit extreme so that they seem caricatures. In these novels, the characters seem so real

What does Oliver J. Hembrough bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

The cadence and the accents! He's a wonderful narrator and it's such a pleasure listening to him.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It didn't make me cry or laugh, but it did make me reflect on my own relationship with those close to me.

Any additional comments?

These books make me happy! I don't know why, but they do.

Oliver Hembrough is outstanding

Oliver Hembrough’s narration and acting is outstanding - I am obsessed with this series of audiobooks. I also love the way Winston Graham writes, the way the characters come to life and the historical content.

The Angry Tide another excellent book

Taken back over 200 years to the struggles of living in darker tines this is an enlightening story of the enmity between two men one kind and level-headed the other greedy and grasping a gripping read and with all the reality of the hold bankers can have on our lives.

Book 7 in the Poldark series

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. I have read the book also, but hearing it was even better and brought it to life. Can't wait to listen to book 8, "The Stranger from the Sea". Thank you Audible.
