4.5 starts rounded up. At page 110, I wrote "I know I'm not going to want this one to end." However, I'll say I found the ending rounded out the book perfectly.

Having read Colleen McCullough's historical romance, THE THORN BIRDS, years back, and having been a fan of the TV series, I decided to reread the 692 page novel to see why I had enjoyed it then. I was reintroduced to the great Australian countryside, to the intensity of sheep farming, to the isolati...

January 1, 1980I wonder how many girls are called Meggie these days? Forbidden love makes up for the outback setting, although I do like sheep.***April 30, 2015What is the point of this cover?

It was so very interesting to revisit this book after so many years. When I was a young teen, my mother read all the family sagas that were current at the time. She loved nothing better than a multi-generational story about rich people. I remember both of us loving this book at the time, but I found...

I read this when I was a teenager. Found it in my mom's stuff. Maybe this is why I married a man 16 years older than me. Or why when I was 12, I was deeply in love with Magnum PI. Wait, I'm still deeply in love with Magnum PI. Who knows.
