Given the more respected – and male-oriented – subject matter, McCullough’s series found high-profile fans in Henry Kissinger, Newt Gingrich and Bob Carr. They portray the life as it was in as far as I can possibly do. That’s the legacy I would like to leave at least is the Roman books because they’re extremely well researched. In an interview with Andrew Denton in 2007, she made reference to the 13 years of toil she dedicated to ensuring the historical accuracy of the series: McCullough took particular pride in the Masters of Rome series, which she wrote largely during the 1990s. On its publication, the Washington Post review of The Thorn Birds remarked that to expect the work “to be a Great Book would be unfair”. Like much women’s genre fiction, McCullough’s romances and detective fiction were often regarded as unimportant at the same time as they were acknowledged as undeniably compelling. McCullough published 11 stand-alone novels, seven titles in the Masters of Rome historical series, and five in the Carmine Delmonico murder mystery series.
