![]() When Valentine’s latest mistress is a victim and he is questioned about it, his wife, Selina, has had enough and leaves with their son, George. Someone has been killing young women in the area. They become entangled with another subplot, a murder mystery. Valentine Warleggan’s affairs are also a concern of the novel. But a French empresario, Maurice Valéry, offers her a part in an opera in Rouen and himself. But Clowance feels still half in love with Stephen and half hates him because of his lies.īella has been courted by Christopher Havergal for years, and he helps her find a voice teacher in London and begin her career as a singer. Clowance is now a widow, but she has two suitors, Captain Philip Prideaux, a former soldier, and Lord Edward Fitzmaurice, who has been in love with Clowance since she was a girl. Set in 1818, Bella Poldark is principally concerned with the romances of the two Poldark daughters, Clowance and Bella. I was surprised to find it introducing some new characters while hardly mentioning some who featured strongly in the other books. It resolves some of the continuing subplots but not others. This novel is not exactly what you might expect of the last of a series. I enjoyed the first six books very much but was only mildly interested in the others and finally only continued because I wanted to finish the series. I’ve finally finished the last of 12 books in the Poldark series with Bella Poldark. ![]()
