Author: Colleen McCullough
Hardcover in fair condition. No dust jacket. First edition.
The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough is a sweeping family saga set primarily in the Australian Outback, spanning over five decades in the 20th century. The novel centers on the Cleary family, particularly Meggie Cleary and her complex, forbidden love for Ralph de Bricassart, an ambitious Catholic priest torn between his devotion to the Church and his feelings for her. Through themes of love, sacrifice, ambition, and the harsh beauty of the land, McCullough weaves a richly emotional tale of passion and perseverance. The story’s epic scope and deeply drawn characters have made it one of the most beloved works of Australian literature.
