Bittersweet

Серия: "-"

From author of THE THORN BIRDS, one of the biggest-selling books of all time, comes this epic saga of love, betrayal and redemption in 1920s Australia. The four Latimer sisters are famous throughout New South Wales for their beauty, wit, ambition and sisterly love. They thought that would never change. But then they left home to train as nurses, swapping the feather beds of their father's townhouse for the spartan bunks of nursing accommodation. And now, as the Depression casts its shadow across Australia, they must confront their own secret desires as the world changes around them. Will the sisters find the independence they crave? Or is life– like love – always bittersweet?

McCULLOUGH, Colleen

(1937-)
   Working name of Australian writer Colleen McCullough-Robinson, who remains most famous for The Thorn Birds (1977). A Creed for the Third Millennium (1985 US), set in the 21st century, has a familiar plot inwhich a charismatic figure ambiguously revitalizes a disillusioned world. The Ladies of Missolonghi (1987 UK) is a ghost story.
