NOW A MAJOR BBC SERIES
"From the incomparable Winston Graham... who has everything that anyone else has, then a whole lot more" The Guardian
The Twisted Sword is the eleventh novel in Winston Graham's sweeping series of Cornwall, Poldark.
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. Winston Graham is the author of more than 40 novels, which include 'Cordelia', 'Marnie', 'The Walking Stick' and 'Stephanie' as well as the highly successful Poldark series. His novels have been translated into 17 languages. Six of Winston Graham's books have been filmed for the big screen, the most notable being 'Marnie', directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Two television series were made of the Poldark novels which were broadcast in 22 countries. Winston Graham was a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and in 1983 was awarded the OBE. He died in July 2003.
