Search - Morgan's Run

4-1/2 Stars!

This woman can write - 825 pages of story and all of it detailed, in-depth etc (she wrote The Thorn Birds). All of her books are like a mini-series. The characters are in-depth, the time periods are accurate, the novel is based around actual events - a hella'va good story teller -

I really enjoyed this book - to the extent that I hope there is a sequel planned. My maternal grandmother's maiden name was Morgan, from Wales, so besides my interest in the story, it got me wondering...how do you do a family tree?

an excellent saga, full of detail about those unfortunate early settlers in Botany Bay.

I was apprehensive about this book but it held my interest and I would like to read a follow up and see where their lives go.

I like this book even though it was a slow read for me. Slow because so much to take in in her writing. The life of a so called convict sent to an island to fend for themselves. Hope she continues this story.

Great story. Long, over 800 pages and not with the big print that everyone's using nowadays. I'll be looking for the sequel.
