Compelling entertainment.\" --New York Times\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most beloved novels of all time, The Thorn Birds, Colleen McCullough's sweeping family saga of dreams, titanic struggles, dark passions, and forbidden love in the Australian Outback, returns to enthrall a new generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Thorn Birds is a chronicle of three generations of Clearys--an indomitable clan of ranchers carving lives from a beautiful, hard land while contending with the bitterness, frailty, and secrets that penetrate their family. It is a poignant love story, a powerful epic of struggle and sacrifice, a celebration of individuality and spirit. Most of all, it is the story of the Clearys' only daughter, Meggie, and the haunted priest, Father Ralph de Bricassart--and the intense joining of two hearts and souls over a lifetime, a relationship that dangerously oversteps sacred boundaries of ethics and dogma.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":" The Bookshelf","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53132405276989,"sku":"9780063569928","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/3235\/2829\/files\/TheThornBirds.jpg?v=1790089971","url":"https:\/\/bookshelfthomasville.com\/products\/the-thorn-birds","provider":" The Bookshelf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
