message 14: by Alexis (new)

Alexis O (saboknits) | 76 comments I just finished listening to The Thorn Birds, by Colleen McCullough. I was thoroughly engrossed in this novel. Several times I uttered out loud, "Oh, come on!" when another heartbreaking tragedy occurred. The book is beautifully written. The characters are so very flawed and the description of the Australian environment was rich and complete.
