Four Fires




Bryce Courtenay is Australia's biggest selling novelist of the last fifty years.

Four fires: passion, religion, warfare and fire itself. Along with love - perhaps the brightest flame of all - these four fires drive the human spirit.

In a small town much like any other around Australia live the Maloneys. They are a fifth-generation family of Irish Catholic descent, 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 with an illegitimate daughter. Each of their lives is changed forever by the four fires.

FOUR FIRES is unashamedly a story of the the power of love and the triumph of human spirit against the odds.
