I didn't know Colleen McCollough died yesterday. Thanks for the Thornbirds.
That was the steamy novel of my youth. I wanted a dress in ashes of roses just because.
Were you a Thornbirds, and the sequel, follower? |

"I can remember it being on the TV in my youth and my nan watching it but must admit I have never read it.
Did it have Richard Chamberlain in it or was that Shogun? "
I remember the TV series, it was a little hot for those times! Enjoyed it of course  |

Richard c was the priest. It was racy for tv but very well done. Brian Brown the Ausie was the other guy. |

"I remember Richard Chamberlain and my young girl fantasies  "
I had fallen for the priest from reading the book and then when it was Richard Chamberlain in the series my boyfriend looked a little too ordinary. |

My sister re-read it recently and said it held up well. I'll have to find my old paperback from 1979.

"Since I was 10, that probably isn't much of a surprise.
Knowing your tastes it may never have been something you would consider reading.

My tastes were probably different at 10. Anything to do with horses, I think. |

"Listening to the excerpt from the television series on R4 reminds me how controversial it was.
I may need to re-read it.
"
Me too looking for holiday reading |
