Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "Beautiful.Compelling entertainment." --New York TimesOne of the most beloved novels of all time, The Thorn Birds, Colleen McCullough's sweeping family saga of dreams, titanic struggles, dark passions, and forbidden love in the Australian Outback, returns to enthrall a new generation.The Thorn Birds is a chronicle of three generations of Clearys--an indomitable clan of ranchers carving lives from a beautiful, hard land while contending with the bitterness, frailty, and secrets that penetrate their family. 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, and the haunted priest, Father Ralph de Bricassart--and the intense joining of two hearts and souls over a lifetime, a relationship that dangerously oversteps sacred boundaries of ethics and dogma."A heart-rending epic.truly marvelous." --Chicago Tribune In the rugged Australian Outback, "The Thorn Birds" follows three generations of the extraordinary Cleary family 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.
