The Thorn Birds by Colleen McCullough, 1979
Vast generational saga of life long forbidden love and life in the Australian outback. It follows the plight of a sprawling family and their even more sprawling inherited estate, and the infatuation of the only girl of the like 27 piece family with a kinda douchey priest. A lot happens in the story's 60 some years.
It may be dry and uneventful but it paints a humbling portrait of foolish romance and family matters.
