About this listen

The Twisted Sword is the eleventh novel in Winston Graham's hugely popular Poldark series, which has become a television phenomenon starring Aidan Turner.

Cornwall 1815. Demelza sees a horseman riding down the valley and senses disruption to the domestic contentment she has fought so hard to achieve. For Ross has little option but to accept the summons – and travel to Paris with his family, as an 'observer' of the French armed forces.

Parisian life begins well with an exhilarating round of balls and parties. But the return of Napoleon brings separation, distrust and danger to the Poldarks . . . and always for Demelza there is the shadow of the secret she does not even share with Ross.

The Twisted Sword is followed by Bella Poldark.

Think I enjoyed this more than any of the previous books - and I have loved them all. Oliver J Henbrough once again did a brilliant job.

Never fails to write a wonderful story.

One of the saddest stories in the series, but also one of the best. One more to go!

Great story

Oliver Hembrough is excellent in his reading of this and the other Poldark books. He does occasionally slip in the pronunciation of a few words, but that's pardonable. A significant error, for lovers of Shakespeare, is the claim that Juliet was 14, whereas she was actually 13.

Excellent

just the best audio book series ever.
loved the war descriptions and all the sentimentality of the whole book.

15 out of 15 stars

Absolutely loved it. I have listened to all eleven books. Oliver certainly brings the story alive. You could imagine you are living in the midst of the drama.

Just magic. Brilliantly read as always!
