Demelza Carne, once rescued from poverty by Ross Poldark, is now trying to live as his wife in a household and class world that never fully accepts her. Her marriage, motherhood and social position are tested by illness, debt, mining uncertainty and the pride of families who measure worth by birth and property.
Set in Cornwall from 1788 to 1790, the book keeps its focus local while the French Revolution begins to disturb Britain’s political imagination. Graham uses Demelza’s movement between miners, servants and gentry to show how affection, reputation and survival work differently across Georgian society.
