Demelza

Demelza Carne, a street urchin rescued from a fairground brawl, struggles to adapt to her new life as a member of the gentry after marrying Ross Poldark. As she navigates the rigid social hierarchies of 18th-century Cornwall, she must win over neighbors who despise her origins while helping Ross manage his failing copper mines. Their relationship faces its first true tests against a backdrop of poverty, local scandals, and the birth of their first child.
