Description
This is an auction for CLOUDSTREET by Tim Winton.
"Tim Winton is a prodigy among novelists, publishing his first novel when barely out of his teens and one of the great masterpieces of world fiction when only just 30 . . . The great novel is CLOUDSTREET, a stunning, rumbustious epic of two unruly families sharing a huge, ramshackle house from the 1940s onwards. It has all of Winton's virtues; a swift, demotic freshness of manner, the best ear for dialogue in contemporary fiction, and a powerfully driven narrative full of outbreaks of violence and passion . . . "
- The Spectator
"Considerations of fate and love underlie Winton's wry novel, set in Western Australia, about two families thrown together in the years following WW II. Featuring lyrical passages and rapid-fire, minimally punctuated dialogue, this satiric, affectionate family saga is tragic and hilarious - and often both at once. Winton shows himself a worthy successor to Martin Boyd, who portrayed the Anglo-Australian society of previous generations."
- Publishers Weekly (US)
"Australian Winton's fifth novel is chock-full, depicting birth, death, resurrection, marriage, miscarriage, gambling, drunkenness, adultery, anorexia, depression, love, and joy. From 1944 to 1964, the Pickles and Lamb families share a large house in a suburb of Perth on the wrong side of the tracks. The Pickles own the house and are slothful, he a gambler with long streaks of bad luck, she often drunk and adulterous. The tenant Lambs are hard-working . . . "
