I love so many of her books. Tim remains one of my favorites. The Thorn Birds is a book only a writer's writer could have written. A brilliant woman. I won't sully her memory by the silliness the yahoo world is trying to wrap around her like a piece of dirty string. Her writing transports you to another place and time. Australia must have been a place she truly loved.

I remember at the beginning of The Thornbirds how she discribed the way shadows "wheeled and darted" before a hand held lantern. I liked that. I also remember the husband shouting "Fee" just before he burned to death. I understood that.
