Ross plunges into a highly speculative mining venture which threatens not only his family’s financial security but also his turbulent marriage to Demelza. But there are enemies in plenty who would be happy to see Ross convicted, not least George Warleggan, the powerful banker, whose personal rivalry with Ross grows ever more intense. Despite their stormy married life, Demelza has tried to rally support for her husband. Accused of wrecking two ships, Ross is to stand trial at the Bodmin Assizes. Ross begins a bitter struggle for the rights of the mining communities – and sows the seed of an enduring enmity with powerful George Warleggan.
Demelza – Now the wife of Ross Poldak, Demelza’s efforts to adapt to the ways of the gentry – and her husband – bring her confusion and heartache, despite her joy in the birth of their first child. But his sympathy for the destitute miners and farmers of the district leads him to rescue a half-starved urchin girl from a fairground brawl and take her home – an act which alters the whole course of his life… Ross Poldark – After a few years of fighting in the American War of Independence, Ross Poldark returns to his land and his family to discover his father is dead, his estate is derelict and the girl he loves is engaged to his cousin. He resumes the series after a long hiatus, in 1973. It is also noticeable that Graham wrote the first four Poldark books during the 1940s and 1950s. The remaining five are concerned with the early years of the 19th century and the lives of the descendants of the previous novels’ main characters. The first seven books are set in the 18th century, concluding in 1799. Poldark is a series of historical novels by Winston Graham, published from 1945 to 1953 and continued from 1973 to 2002. Poldark rescues a young woman, Demelza, from a beating, and takes her on as a kitchen maid while trying to help the people of the village and attempting to gain control of the mines sought after by his rival, the greedy and arrogant George Warleggan. When he gets home, he finds his father dead, his estate in ruins, and his old sweetheart Elizabeth engaged to his cousin Francis. His story takes place in the late 18th century when he returns from the American War of Independence to his Cornish copper mines after spending three years in the army to avoid charges of smuggling. 
Right now, Ross Poldark looks like Aidan Turner on BBC One’s adaptation! And is quite stubborn! That said, it’s time to talk about books, not TV. In fact, there are two adaptations of Poldark. Of course, a lot of them had been made into TV Series and movies. If you want some good period drama, go to the British.
