The Touch by Colleen Mccullough
Spanning fifty years, from the 1860s through to the turn of the century, this work tells the story of Alexander Kinross, who flees from a childhood of poverty in Scotland to make his fortune in the Australian and the American gold fields. In the process, he meets the woman he loves but can never marry - and marries a woman who can never love him.
"'Fast-moving and immensely readable.. a page turner from start to finish' Maeve Binchy"
