This massive novel, one of the world's biggest bestsellers with one of the most beautiful love stories of our time, is most often compared to the book Gone with the Wind. It's just that this family saga takes place mostly in New Zealand and Australia, where its author, Colleen McCullough, hails from. From the moment it was first published, more than thirty years ago, the novel Birds Die Singing is a kind of literary phenomenon that everyone talked about and had an opinion about, and the television series from 1983 with Richard Chamberlain and Rachel Ward in the main roles, only deepened the public's interest. life. The true heroine, however, is Meggie Cleary, whose journey from an innocent girl to a woman torn between passion and a sense of responsibility will captivate every reader the most. Her decisions and female courage, certainly too impudent for that time, and most likely too advanced, are what initiate one of the most intriguing literary love plots.
