The Thornbirds
Colleen Mcculloughs The Thornbirds is a
story spanning 50 years,a priest torn between God and human passion.A beautiful girl desiring only what she cannot have.Five decades of ambition,fear,longing and revenge.
The
Thorn birds tells this epic story against the limitless horizons of Australia''s outback.
There is a
legend of a bird that sings just once in it''s life,more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth.From the moment it leaves the nest it searches for a thorn tree,and does not rest until it has found one.
Then,singing among the savage branches,it impales itself upon the longest,sharpest spine.And,dying,it rises above its own agony to out - carol the lark and the nightingale.One superlative song,existence the price.But the whole world stills to listen,and God in his heaven smiles.For the best is only bought at the cost of great pain.....or so says the legend.
