"Birds Die Alone" is a novel by Australian writer Colleen McCullough, published in 1977. It became a bestseller and brought fame to its author. "There is a legend about a bird that sings only once in its life, but sweeter than any other earthly creature. As soon as she leaves her nest, she searches for a thorny bush and has no rest until she finds it. Then she sings among its relentless twigs, pressing her breast to their longest and sharpest thorn to die, towering over her agony, singing both the lark and the nightingale. A delightful song, paid with life. But the whole world falls silent listening and even the god of heaven smiles. Because the best is obtained only at the cost of great pain… or at least according to legend.
