Notes

General Note
"First Avon Printing, June 1978"--Title page verso
Description
The epic story of a priest torn between God and human passion and a beautiful girl desiring only what she cannot have, spanning five decades of ambition, fear, longing and revenge, and set against the vast horizons of Australia's Outback.
Description
In the early part of the 20th century Paddy Cleary moves his wife, Fiona, and their seven children to Drogheda, the vast Australian sheep station owned by his autocratic and childless older sister. Meggie is the only Cleary daughter-- and the one man she truly loves is the priest, Ralph de Bricassart. Ralph's course moves him from the remote Outback parish to the halls of the Vatican; Meggie endures a brief and miserable marriage, but most of her life is fixed to Drogheda. Distance does not dim their feelings, though it shapes their lives. -- adapted from Goodreads info
