The thorn birds

"The thorn birds" is one of the greatest, exciting and unique stories that I have ever read in my life. It was written by Colleen McCullough. The tone of the storty is really thoughtful, along all the stoty the reader can see love problems that that end up in a tragic way.

At the beginning of the story, the reader gets to know Megan Cleary and her poor family who lived in New Zealand and move to Australia to help their elderly aunt, Mary Carson, run a sheep station in the Outback. Their lives improve economically and socially with the introduction of Ralph de Bricassart, a kind hearted Roman Catholic priest that has a soft spot for Megan.

Megan and Ralph's meeting risambles the golden period in Megan's life, when she is finally getting the attention she deserves and craves, and Ralph sees no problem in giving these things to Megan because she is still a little girl. As Megan grows up her relationship with Ralph got complicated. Mary Carson's death takes the story one step further. She leave her estate to Ralph, which promots him to leave the presence of Megan to pursue a more prestigious position in the Catholic Church. The relationship between Megan and Ralph comes to the end with a tragic way.

The story helped me to imagine how lives were in another country and time. The descriptions in the Thorn Birds are gorgeous and it is very easy to imagine all the story and actually feel all the emotions in the story. I probably don’t need to tell you after all this that I loved the book, but I will anyway- over all the story teach me all about emotions and unrequited love.
