The Thorn Birds book cover

The Thorn Birds

Colleen McCullough

This epic saga follows the lives of the Clearys, a singular family living on a vast Australian sheep station. The story spans more than half a century, with the central figures being the indomitable Meggie and the ambitious priest Ralph de Bricassart. Strong and gentle characters populate the book, and the Australian landscape is a character in itself, with its stark beauty and relentless demands.
