Story
By all accounts, Simon Basset is on the verge of proposing to his best friend's sister - the lovely and almost-on-the-shelf - Daphne Bridgerton. But the two of them know the truth - it's all an elaborate ruse to keep Simon free from marriage-minded society mothers. And as for Daphne, surely she will attract some worthy suitors now that it seems a duke has declared her desirable. But as Daphne waltzes across ballroom after ballroom with Simon, it's hard to remember that their courtship is a sham.

Queen Victoria, a woman of diminutive stature and superabundant temperament, gave her name to something more than an age. Elizabeth Longford's classic biography won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize when it was first published in 1964. The author's grasp of the era's politics, and her understanding of the problems which confront a woman who is not only a queen but also a mother of a large high-spirited family, make this audiobook unique to this day.

Tudor England. The word treason is on everyone's lips. Arbella Stuart, niece to Mary, Queen of Scots, and presumed successor to Elizabeth I, has spent her youth behind the towering windows of Hardwick Hall. As presumed successor to the throne, her isolation should mean protection - but those close to the crown are never safe. Aemilia Lanyer, writer and poet, enjoys an independence denied to Arbella. Their paths should never cross. But when Arbella enlists Aemilia's help in a bid for freedom, she risks more than her own future.

Everyone expects Billie Bridgerton to marry one of the Rokesby brothers. The two families have been neighbours for centuries, and as a child the tomboyish Billie ran wild with Edward and Andrew. Either one would make a perfect husband...someday. There is only one Rokesby Billie absolutely cannot tolerate, and that is George. He may be the eldest heir to the earldom, but he's arrogant, annoying and she's absolutely certain he detests her. Which is perfectly convenient, as she can't stand the sight of him, either.

Fantastic as usual
Would you listen to The Stranger from the Sea again? Why?
I probably will in a few years, yes. I love the story and the narration they go together perfectly.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Stranger from the Sea?
I find this question very tricky. How can you share what you found memorable without ruining for others? I hate to be told even the slightest detail about books I haven't -but want- to read. I'm going to ignore this one as I usually do.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
Again, difficult without including spoilers. For some reason, I loved the scenes where Geoffrey Charles appears and the build-up to the decision by the mine shareholders.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Excellent
Would you consider the audio edition of The Stranger from the Sea to be better than the print version?
Yes, definitely. I love Oliver J Hembrough's narration. He is a very talented actor.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Demelza. Anyone who reads this book will have read all the others and so will know why.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
I don't want to say because it will be a spoiler. What an odd question for a review. It will ruin a reader's enjoyment of this book to answer it!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I wanted to, yes. If only I had the time.
Any additional comments?
Not the best of the Poldark novels but essential reading. Am now waiting for the release of The Miller's Dance. Can't wait!

Ten years on, children's roles develop.
Where does The Stranger from the Sea rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Continuing the love story of Ross and Demelza, and the feud with the Warleggans, this book develops the characters of the younger generation: their two eldest children, Jeremy and Clowance, and also Geoffrey Charles Poldark and Valentine Warleggan (...whose parentage is still questionable.) It also introduces the development of steam power in Cornwall.
What did you like best about this story?
As always, my mind escapes into the physical and social worlds of Cornwall in this period.
What about Oliver J. Hembrough’s performance did you like?
I'm totally enamoured with this very talented man and his multitude of voices! I wish he would go back and re-do 'Demelza', as his voice-interpretation is so important for all the characters.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Couldn't put it down...but I didn't cry.

Stop at the death of Elizabeth
No this is not for me. I thoroughly dislike Stephen Carrington and Clowance Poldark and I dont care for Jeremy Poldark either. It all feels as if it should not have continued after the death of Elizabeth. These children's life stories would have been better just left untold. Oliver Hemsbro is excellent. The book is just awful. Sorry.

An enthralling addition to the Poldark saga with favourite characters joined by newcomers. The narration is first class.

Where are all the Poldark books
I love the PBS series. All the Audible books are excellent but this book started later with a large gap in time. What happened to Elizabeth? What happened to self important Ozzie?. There are 12 in the series. A book is skipped in the sequence. I must purchase the others in book form. This is an unexpected omission. I am very disappointed.

Great Introduction to Next Generation of Poldarks
Graham picks up the Poldark saga 10 years after Angry Tide finished, and shines a light on the characters now coming of age: Geoffrey Charles, Valentine, John Conan, Jeremy and Clowance. The story is clearly meant to outline and prepare us for the third and final set of Poldark books that will, ultimately, wrap up the family's tale. The new characters are interesting, the settings are still wonderfully drawn, and the various plots keep you wondering right to the end.

Poldark Series 2
I wonder what would have happened if Winston Graham had not taken such a long break in writing. The first part of the book feels like a recap of a previous novel, only there isn’t one. Demelza and Ross’s relationship is stable and content, which means the focus of these next novels will be on their children’s heartbreaks and hopes.
Still great historical writing, still captivating characters weighing values, actions, plans and judgments.
You will probably love it, but don’t expect this to be another Ross and Demelza novel.

Riveting Stories, Excellent Narration
The Poldark series always tells a great story with complex and interesting characters! The narrator does a truly remarkable job of bringing a unique color and life to the voices of all the characters. Before they are even identified, I can recognize the pinched and haughty voice of George Warleggan, the warm tones of Ross Poldark, the playfulness of Demelza , as well as some of the many characters that speak with a distinct Cornish burr. An astonishing observation given that all the voices are intoned by one man! Bravo, Mr Hembrough! You truly bring this brilliant book to life.

Slightly Lacking-- but only slightly
For me, this book was slightly lacking in comparison to the other Poldark books. Thus far, I have rated every book 5 stars in each category except for this one which I discounted slightly for the overall story. I'm not sure exactly what it was...In part, there were more political details and names to keep track of in the forward part of the book. Additionally, I wasn't crazy about the Steven Carrington character, which may have contributed to my lack of complete enthusiasm. More likely, it was due to the fact that the book starts off ten years following the end of the last book, which felt a little disjointed and disappointing. Having said all that, I would still recommend this book as I've found the entire series to be delightful. I especially love the author's gift of description which does not feel in the least bit contrived, and the exceptional narration is the "icing on the cake."

I loved it just as much as the others! 🌸🌾
I loved this book in the series just as much as the others, if not more. It was great getting to know the just-coming-of age Clowance and Jeramy. Ross and Demelza seemed to simply be more mature and settled versions of their younger selves, still as down-to-earth and high-spirited as before.
Winston Graham was seamless in his filling in of the details of what occurred in the elapsed time. Oliver J Hembrough’s narration was as exceptional as always..

Good continuation of a favorite series.
The story is confusing at first due to a ten year jump in time. I was lost somewhat in the telling of history and war sequences, but past that it picked up with new characters that were likable. I missed hearing more about old characters, but I understand the author's desire to move more quickly through time for sake of entertainment and new material.
