Captivating Read

Published by Carroll , 3 years ago

Despite the paperback having super small print, I enjoyed this book a lot. I loved the Thorn Birds back in the day and I had never seen this one before, but I took a chance on it. Colleen McCullough writes descriptively well so you can "see" the characters in your minds eye. Intriguing, shocking, emotional, and sad.

a thinking person's romance novel

McCullough's best. In the genre, you couldn't ask for a better read, especially if you're fascinated by complex personalities and what makes people tick. Having read it years ago, I still remember the vivid characters. Volatile, unpredictable people (including a honey of a villain) are trapped in an enclosed environment, packed with intense emotions. The ending packs a wollop. A good, page-turning entertainment.

Timeless and one of my all time favorites!

This is her best book by far! I read it 15 years ago and have always wanted to do so again. Took it to the beach this summer. Even after all this time, I could still recall nuances of characters, they are so well defined. Remembered that obsession to duty was indecent to the rest of self .Also, that the ending was incredibly sad, but faithful to the theme.

Excellent novel

This is a bit off from my normal reading but I first read this book about 20 years ago while on leave from the Army I couldn't put it down. I found it at my girlfriends house and when I went home I found my mothers copy and sat there and read it to the end in one sitting. A great book and a well told story and I loved it but don't ask me why as I just don't know! It was made into a half decent movie not long ago as well.

This is a drawn out story but extreemly worth reading.

To begin with it takes a bit to get into, but once the characters are defined the story begins to make sense and you begin to feel what it must be like to be 'Sis'. The ending is a shock and what is least expected of Sis. This is a bit like The Thorn Birds, in that is contains forbidden love.
