An Indecent Obsession by Collen McCullough~ my alltime favorite author. Written in 1981, this neurologist turned writer can really get into the characters and make them come alive and so human. She also wrote the Thorn Birds a huge bestseller and later made into a movie that was a big hit. This story is about a nurse in the mental ward of a hospital in the South Pacific after WWII; she and all the patients are from Australia and she works her way through their healing and her own.
Colleen also wrote a series of books about Rome; First Man Of Rome, Grass Crown, Ceasar's Women, etc. Seven or eight in all that really capture Rome and it's most famous citizens in all their glory!
