It opens with a family living in NZ, but they move to Australia where the father has a wealthy sister living in the Outback.
THere are about 6 or 7 kids - the oldest is Frank who is illegitimate, and who cannot get on with his stepfather, and there is an only girl called Meggie, whm the story centres around. THere is a Catholic priest called Ralph de Briccasart or something, and he falls in love with Meggie.
The story follows Meggies life throughout her growing up, marraige (which fails), and children. Eventually, her son dies, and the story winds down.
Meggie's daughters name is Justine, and she ends up with a German whom she meets at the Vatican when visting her brother (who became a priest).
It may have been written by Bryce Courtenay, does anyone know?
