The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough has been loved by many and I can see why. It is a well written family saga with thoroughly developed characters. The setting is remarkable in the way of being especially original and it is clear that the author has done her research.I found myself quite vested...
Read because my mother had bought it and thus it was lying around the house when I was in high school. Was very "meh" about it and did not understand why people liked any of these characters.
Love it. This is, actually, one of my all-time-favorites. I was sixteen when I read it for the first time, and it still has the same effect on me. A beautiful, somewhat tragic, story about family, love, changes and a bit of cheating the destiny.Default recommendation to everyone.
