The Thorn Birds is arobust, romantic
saga of a singular family, the Clearys.
It begins in the early part of this cen-
tury, when Paddy Clcary moves his
wife, Fiona, and their seven children
to Drogheda, the vast Australian
sheep station owned by his autocratic
and childless older sister; and it ends
more than halfa century later, when
the only survivor of the third genera-
tion, the brilliant actress Justine
O Neill, sets a course of life and love
halfway around the world from her
roots.
The central figures in this enthral-
ling story aretheindomitableMeggie,
the only Cleary daughter, and the one
man she truly loves, the stunningly
handsome and ambitious priest Ralph
de Bricassart. Ralph s course moves
him along way indeed, from a re.mote
Outback parish to the hallsof the
Vatican; and Meggie s, except for a
brief and miserable marriage else-
where, is fixed to the Drogheda that
is part of her bones-but distance
does not dim their feelings though it
shapes their lives.
Wonderful characters people this
book: strong and gentle Paddy, hid-
ing a private mcmory; dutiful Fiona,
holding back love because it once be-,
trayed her; violent, tormented Frank,
