Now, twenty-five years after it first took the world by storm, Colleen McCullough's sweeping family saga of dreams, titanic struggles, dark passions, and forbidden love in the Australian Outback return to enthral a new generation. As powerful, moving, and unforgettable as when it originally appeared, it remains a monumental literary achievement-— a landmark novel to be read...and read again!
