No matter what befalls them, they remain fiercely loyal to each other. As each sister finds her path in life, though, one thing remains clear: family means everything to these women. Each finds love, of a sort, and tragedy is not in short supply-the Great Depression hits one sister’s husband is lost another’s is cast off miscarriages occur. ![]() The four leave their home in the small New South Wales town of Corunda, each with different goals: Grace wants to be a wife and mother Tufts wants independence, Kitty wants to be known for more than her beauty, and Edda longs to be a doctor. Since career options for women are sparse, the sisters enter nursing school, encouraged by their father, the Reverend Thomas Latimer. Edda and Grace are twins, as are Heather (dubbed Tufts) and Katherine, (called Kitty). In this sweeping historical saga, McCullough ( The Thorn Birds) explores the lives and loves of four sisters in 1920s Australia. ![]()
