I found your review very interesting. I also admire Demelza's loyalty, not only to Ross and family but also to Garrick her dog. She did not abandon him at the dog fight nor when she found a home with Ross. Garrick was there with her. She places high value on friendship and loyalty. Thank you for hosting this tour. I hope to get to read the Poldark series. <br />cjay(at)iavalley(dot)eduCarlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18224926152838722230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15714418.post-25995066121344614652015-07-30T04:41:21.772-06:002015-07-30T04:41:21.772-06:00Thanks for the giveaway!

That sexy scar on his face doesn't hurt either. Like you, I'm rather addicted to the Cornwall landscape. It's just so stunning and that's coming from a California where our coast, from Big Sur to the beaches of Malibu, is pretty damn gorgeous. I'm blogging about the show on my book to movie blog, Chapter1-Take1 if you care to take a gander.
