Colleen McCullough https://openlibrary.org/authors/OL225331A/Colleen_McCullough was born in Wellington (Australia) on a June 1937 day. She was born in the Australian Outback and her family had moved frequently, eventually settling in Sydney. Graduated in medicine, she worked in various Australian and UK hospitals, also doing medical research and teaching. She taught neurology at Yale Medical School in New Haven (Connecticut) for several years, where she began writing stories in her spare time and the result would be her first novel Tim.
Her second writer effort, The Thorn Birds https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3412.The_Thorn_Birds, won her a devoted following. The novel, which centres on a thwarted love affair between a priest and a woman in the Outback, garnered her a record advance of nearly $2 million and has been translated into 35 languages. The book tells the story of the Cleary family (from the early 1900s), and the love story between the young Meggie and the Reverend Ralph de Bricassart. The story takes place first in New Zealand (North Island), then moving to Australia.
