Four Fires

Note: This is a very thick paperback so it should keep you busy for a while.  The outside edges of the pages show some yellowing but the pages are bright and clean and easy to read.  Based on the look of its perfect spine, I'd say it is unread.  This is a good one.

Description:

A story of the power of love and the triumph of the human spirit against the odds.

In a small town like any other small town around Australia live the Maloneys. They are a fifth-generation Australian family of Irish Catholic descent who are struggling to reach the first rung of the social ladder. The Maloneys are a family you won't forget: a strong mother, a father broken by war, three boys and two girls, one of whom has an illegitimate daughter. Each of their lives is changed forever by the four fires – passion, religion, warfare and fire itself.
