4 10 y separately published work icon Angel Puss Colleen McCullough , ( trans. Malene Bjerre with title Englebarn ) Denmark : Erichsen , 2007 Z1156411 2004 single work novel Twenty-one-year-old Harriet, a newly qualified X-ray technician earning a coveted male wage, ignores her father's warning that 'only fools, Bohemians and tarts live at Kings Cross' and moves into Mrs Delvecchio Schwartz's rooming house. There she discovers that Mrs Delvecchio Schwartz has more sources of income than rents. She finds casting horoscopes, reading tarot cards, and gazing into her crystal ball to be far more profitable! But it is mute four-year-old Flo - her mother's medium and beloved angel puss - who captures Harriet's heart. As she learns about men, love, and tarot cards, Harriet finds that following your heart is not always easy. And protecting those you care for most can be hardest of all. (Source: Trove)
6 6 y separately published work icon The Touch Colleen McCullough , ( trans. Birgit Dalgaard with title Matadorens hustru ) Denmark : Erichsen , 2004 Z1078073 2003 single work novel historical fiction Alexander Kinross is remembered in his native Scotland only as a shiftless boilermaker's apprentice and a godless rebel. But, when he writes from Australia to summon his bride, his Scottish relatives realise that he has made a fortune on the goldfields and is a man to be reckoned with. Arriving in Sydney after a difficult voyage, sixteen-year-old Elizabeth Drummond meets her husband-to-be and discovers that he frightens and repels her. Offered no choice, she marries him and is whisked at once across wild, uninhabited countryside to Alexander's own town, named Kinross after himself. In the crags above it lies the world's richest gold mine. Isolated in Alexander's great house and with no company save Chinese servants, Elizabeth finds that the intimacies of marriage do not prompt her husband to enlighten her about his past life - or his present one. She has no idea that he still has a mistress, the sensuous, tough, outspoken Ruby Costevan. Captured by their very different natures, Alexander resolves to have both Elizabeth and Ruby - why should he not? He has the fabled M̀idas Touch', a combination of curiosity, boldness and intelligence that he applies to every situation and which only fails him when it comes to these two women. For while Ruby loves Alexander desperately, Elizabeth does not. (Source: Trove)
6 11 y separately published work icon Morgan's Run Colleen McCullough , ( trans. Birgit Dalgaard )expression Denmark : Erichsen , 2001 Z519968 2000 single work novel historical fiction It was one of the greatest human experiments ever undertaken: to populate an unknown land with the criminal, the unloved and the unwanted of English society. Amid conditions of brutality, 'The First Fleet' was sent to a place that no European but the legendary Captain Cook had ever seen. Left to live or die on the hostile Australian continent, these convicts - and their equally isolated guards - occupy the centre of this story. And Richard Morgan - convicted felon - makes an indelible mark upon the new frontier. A historical saga, rich in romance and drama. (Source: Trove)
