A phenomenal worldwide bestseller since 1977 THE THORN BIRDS is a robust, romantic saga of three generations. It begins in the early years of this century when Paddy Cleary moves his wife and seven children to Drogheda, an Australian sheep station, owned by his autocratic and childless older sister. For more than half a century we follow their fates, particularly those of Meggie, the only Cleary daughter, and the one man she truly loves, Ralph de Bricassart - stunningly handsome, ambitious, and a priest. As background to the Cleary family's lives there is the land itself: relentless in its demands, brilliant in its flowering.
THE THORN BIRDS is a book that enfolds the reader in its capacious arms.
The story begins in 1915 when Paddy Cleary moves his wife and seven children to an Australian sheep station. It ends after World War II when the only survivor of the third generation sets a course of life and love halfway round the world from her roots.
Colleen McCullough was born in Wellington, New South Wales, working in hospitals in Sydney and London before moving to the Yale University Medical School to train as a nurse. There she wrote the phenomenal bestseller THE THORN BIRDS.

真不知道好在哪里,标准的狗血情节剧加不可信人物。文笔还算流畅,只不过完全不会写对话,鉴于至少有点当年澳洲的风情,算是勉强可以看吧

如果小学的时候能比着圣母院的故事看至少阅读体验会更好,这学期学完18世纪小说崛起的英国文学再读这本觉得和两百年前的书比,设定/情节/口吻比都平平无奇啊…

When we put the thorns in our breasts, we know. We understand. And still we do it. Still we do it.
