Lori's Reviews > The Angry Tide

** spoiler alert ** I picked up this book with eager hands because at the end of The Four Swans the characters of this saga were left in an undercurrent of tension. The Angry Tide, which was aptly named,
plunges the characters into somewhat more conflict which fuels the inevitable - a very bad storm.

I loved the atmosphere that Winston Graham created here. Graham takes the characters to fever pitch and as events reach a climax, Ross and Demelza watch as gale-force winds churn up the sea. Graham cleverly reminds us that people too can be forces of nature, and absolutely unstoppable.

For the most part, it is the men in this series that are in the spotlight here. In The Four Swans, each of the women closest to Ross Poldark were forced to deal with a very serious crises and for a time, it seemed that the women had outmaneuvered the men. In this installment, Ross and George are not the only men in Cornwall ready to retaliate. I highly recommend this book to any fan of the Poldark series but hold on to your hat because you're in for stormy weather!
