I read The Thorn Birds way back in the early 80's, and remember loving it! I also watched the mini series with Richard Chamberlain...loved it too!!

Three generations of Cleary's with Meggie as the main character, and her love for the priest. All set in the Australian outback, covering the hardships of the bush....

Because of the fact that I read it so long ago, I can't remember details, therefore I will just tell you, if you love historical romance, this is a book for you!!! I will re-read this at some time in the future..

Suz I don't know if you'll find the time for a re-read Barbara! I picked this up today, although it's one of those ones that I think I may have at home already - or the DVD. It's also a novel that's a must read Aussie author I'd imagine?


Brenda That iPhone of yours again Suzanne!!! It's a wonderful book - I still have my copy from the many, many years ago when I read it. And yes, it's a definite "must read"!!!

Suz What's wrong with me I do not even know a Barbara, oh dear. It's time to blame the iPad now. I'm going to be so paranoid from now on ;) Also have gone to type Brendan (husband).....


Brenda Haha! That's closer;)
