Tim Winton is the real thing: a writer who can photograph a thought
and pluck out the beat of a soul on a washing line. * Scotland on
Sunday *
Winton is boisterous and lyrical by turns; his sense of sentiment
is unerringly accurate, his characters unforgettable. The emotional
control exercised over his anarchic world puts Winton in the top
drawer of Australian fiction. * Daily Telegraph *
Winton's compassionate and humorous writing is nothing short of
magnificent. If you can imagine Neighbours taken over by the
writing team of John Steinbeck and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, you're
close. * Time Out *
