Her efforts to adapt to the ways of the gentry-- and her husband-- place her in situations through which she becomes self assured, mannered and lovely. The birth of her first child brings a joy she never experienced before. But tragedy strikes where least expected, and sows the seeds of an enduring rivalry for Ross Poldark and the powerful George Warleggan, testing Ross and Demelza's marriage and their love....
