用戶評價
這本書和我的童年、少年記憶都緊緊地聯係。小時候在廣播中聽過中文的小說連載，後來又讀瞭英文原著。寫得熱情似火、又悲傷如歌。
##細緻生動。至少是五年來看過的最好的小說。
##“Whatever she was, she could bear anything. Anything! So he closed his eyes and let himself feel, that last time, forgetfulness in Meggie.” 一百年的興衰仿佛隻是行星上一顆微粒。怪誕的人獲得最長情，被鍾愛的人早夭，但在茫茫草原的火焰、乾旱、雨水裏，一切都像是宿命又白駒過隙。
##I have to say, it's the amazing one.
##I skimmed it long time ago. It's a very popular novel throughout the time. Its author, Ms. Colleen McCullough, was both a novelist and a neuroscientist. The author does not have any child.
##曾經愛情戰勝瞭信仰，但那隻是曾經。。。
##強力推薦的女性小說。If ever I had a home as Drogheda!
##曾經愛情戰勝瞭信仰，但那隻是曾經。。。
##無奈和辛酸是它的心聲
