Colleen McCullough's debut novel, written while still a researcher and teacher at the renowned Yale Medical School. It was followed by "The Thorn Birds" and the thirty-seven-year-old McCullough's transition from a scientific career to a literary one.
The story of the elderly and lonely Mary Horton, long accustomed to a quiet life for herself, until one day she meets a young man named Tim. A young man as beautiful as a Greek god, yet no more intelligent than a naive child...
Days of communication turn into weeks, and the longer they continue, the stronger the bond of strange yet profound understanding between the intelligent, well-educated woman and her "special" young friend, no less valuable in his own way than the "normal" people who pitied him with a condescending smile. A young man who taught her to fear nothing and simply enjoy each new day.
But the friendship between Mary and Tim blossomed into love, and public morality was no longer prepared to accept such a thing.
And, even more so, it had no intention of forgiving...
