[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i really enjoyed Poldark--the books and the recent TV series adaptation, with Aiden Turner.

If you don't want a series, try Middlemarch (the novel). There are several film versions. The book is wonderful, but please know it's not a traditional romance. Many of the marriages are unhappy, for example. [/quote]

I love Middlemarch but yes— not light or breezy nor about particularly happy relationships. But a superb novel!

FWIW, I couldn’t get through a few chapters of Bridgerton but found the show (at least season one) fun and engaging.[/quote]

I’ve been reading Middlemarch interspersed with Bridgertons recently (I have Middlemarch out from the library on audiobook, Bridgertons in hard copy) and Middlemarch is so great!  Definitely less happy and more complicated than the pure romance but I like the fact that many of the characters are still likeable — at least one gets the impression that the author likes them — and it’s not all unending misery like Thomas Hardy.[/quote]
