Publisher Description
In a small town like any other small town around Australia live the Maloneys. They are a fifth-generation Australian family of Irish Catholic descent who are 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 of whom has an illegitimate daughter. Each of their lives is changed forever by the four fires – passion, religion, warfare and fire itself.
Four Fires is a story of the power of love and the triumph of the human spirit against the odds.
'Not since writing The Power of One have I felt this close to a book.' Bryce Courtenay
'It's a thumping saga of small-town rural Australian family (with) a cracking pace … but be warned: construct yourself a holiday reading platform or that deckchair will collapse.' Weekend Australian

Four fires
Outstanding book, couldn't put it down. Bryce will be greatly missed as one of our most loved authors.
What a superb read
Bryce Courtenay is a master storyteller.
I so enjoyed this book about an irregular family living an extraordinary life.
Awesome!
What a book!!!
Always a pleasure to read one of Bryce Courtney's books.. Few books can make you smile, laugh & cry. No war should ever be forgotten, but with writers like Bryce I don't believe this will ever happen.!!!
