The Angry Tide

by Winston Graham Book 7 in the Poldark series.

First published 1977

4.5(5,233)

Ross divides his life between Cornwall and Westminster after becoming Member of Parliament for Truro, but public duty gives him no escape from private damage. His marriage to Demelza remains strained, George Warleggan’s hostility continues, and Morwenna and Drake’s story shows the continuing violence of class power.

The book closes the eighteenth-century arc of the Poldark saga in 1798–1799, during the French Revolution’s final phase and the War of the Second Coalition. Graham uses Ross’s political position to widen the series from local mine disputes into national debate, wartime policy and the unstable relationship between conscience and power.
