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.

看这本书是三、四年前的事了,记得当时自己像着了迷似的看,好喜欢里面场景的描写和主人公的爱情故事,优美缠绵却又注定般的感情纠葛。直到现在还是心动
評分始终让我念念不忘的一句话是:在那一刻,他忘记了梅吉。 历经沧桑已是满头银丝的拉尔夫神父最终在同样已是暮年的梅吉怀中死去,死在德罗海达的庄园里。那是梅吉的地盘,他并没有死在上帝的怀里,但是在最后的那一刻,在他离去的那一刻,在上帝的光辉中,他忘记了梅吉。 我猜...
評分记得小时候觉得那段关于荆棘鸟的文字很玄,所以盲目崇拜。 长大一些才渐渐品出那个传说所背负的命运和情感。 每次看到书架上土黄色的书脊,都感觉置身那个黄色的澳洲内陆地带,感觉自己和梅吉一起顶着卷有飞沙的干燥的风坚决的行走…… 书中的人物没有严格意义上的正反角色之...
評分我本人是不太喜欢这本书的!纵观全文只是一个大家族几大女人的悲剧。这类书大概也只有女人才会去读,看一个个给着五星好评的人哪个不是女读者!我觉得作者也只是把大部分女人对待爱情的观点表达出来而已。我不喜欢这本书大概是因为有一些东西我是能够产生共鸣的,只是我不愿意...
