The Thorn Birds by Colleen Mccullough
'Excellent' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'A true epic . . . this stunning tale has been called the Australian Gone With the Wind' DAILY MAIL 'One of the biggest-selling, most widely read books in the history of fiction' OBSERVER In the rugged Australian Outback, three generations of Clearys live through joy and sadness, bitter defeat and magnificent triumph - driven by their dreams, sustained by remarkable strength of character and torn by dark passions, violence and a scandalous family legacy of forbidden love. It is a poignant love story, a powerful epic of struggle and sacrifice, a celebration of individuality and spirit. Most of all, it is the story of the Clearys' only daughter, Meggie, who can never possess the man she so desperately adores - Ralph de Bricassart. Ralph will rise from parish priest to the inner circles of the Vatican . . . but his passion for Meggie will follow him all the days of his life. A timeless epic romance - a battle between faith and the heart.
