The answer to that Char (if it was a question...) is watching TV! Robin Ellis drew me in to the series. But there was a long gap in time before I saw the series again on Yesterday TV and remembered what an excellent story it was and sought out the books to read them. I found a boxed set of the first 5 books in the Oxfam bookshop in Newark and a fine Twisted Sword in that most excellent of pubs - The Raven in Bath - which has a charity bookshelf. Of the 12, only Bella was purchased as a new book.
A belated welcome to the forum kshoudy, good to see another new member. I rather envy anyone just discovering the Poldark saga, all those wonderful stories to read for the first time, i still remember being transfixed by Ross Poldark after casually picking the book up whilst i was babysitting! One of lifes seminal moments that stay with you forever! Maybe we should start a new topic! WHere were you when you first discovered poldark?
Welcome to the forum Kshoudy! If you love Poldark, you've certainly come to the right place and you're absolutely right, Ross and Demelza and the Poldark story is fascinating and truly bewitching! We all love to talk about our favourite Poldark people as often as we can, so please join in the discussions, enjoy and have fun. Look forward to chatting with you here again soon.

I can't believe I missed Poldark for more than 30 years. When Installment 16 of the video ended I felt that I had lost these wonderful interesting people in my life that I had just discovered, but I am now looking forward to collecting and reading the books. I am delighted to find this website with all these knowledgeable and committed Poldarkians to give me further insights. Ross and Demelza Poldark are such complex, infuriating and bewitching characters!
