I hadn't known that either Lynx-lynx, nor even that her mother was an NZ'er.
The Thorn Birds looks far, far more readable than Catton's The Luminaries (which has, with time, disappeared into my "Never to Read" pile). Anyways, I am sure I will enjoy it, Australiana such as A Town Like Alice, For the Term of His Natural Life, Letters of Rachel Henning, etc. have always gone down well with me.
