A reissue of the second in the riveting Poldark saga, Demelza follows the journey of Demelza Carne, the impoverished miner's daughter Ross Poldark rescued from a fairground rabble, who is now his wife.

The events of these turbulent years test their marriage and their love. Demelza's efforts to adapt to the ways of the gentryβ€”and her husbandβ€”bring her confusion and heartache, despite the joy in the birth of their first child.

Ross begins a bitter struggle for the rights of the mining communities and sows the seed of an enduring enmity with the powerful George Warleggan.
