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.

评分《荆棘鸟》—— 忘记什么时候读过了,而且因为读的是英文原版,所以一直恐怕有限的语言能力让自己错过了很多细节、误解了不少文字。但是即便如此,按我的印象,仍旧觉得这样的小说应该不仅仅止于让读者询问“什么是幸福”、“什么是爱情”或者“什么是坚持”。被荆棘鸟的歌声...
评分 评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...
评分最近想入手一本1983年漓江出版社出版,由晓明、陈明锦译,李小棠校的《荆棘鸟》,一是因为这是最早的中译本;二是因为该书市面上已经见不到了(猜想是因为没有买下该书版权的缘故),三是看评价,不少人都觉得翻译得不错,甚至被认为是最好的译本。我先下载了电子版的看了看,...
So History does repeat itself.
