- Book Synopsis
- Winner of the Miles Franklin Award Cloudstreet is Tim Winton's epic family drama, a story of love and turmoil spanning decades. 'Magnificent' - The New York Times 'Winton is just one of the best' - Independent No. 1 Cloudstreet: a broken-down house on the wrong side of the tracks, a place teeming with memories, with shudders and shadows and spirits. From separate catastrophes, two families - the Pickles and the Lambs - flee to the city and find themselves thrown together, forced to start their lives afresh. As they roister and rankle, the place that began as a roof over their heads becomes a home for their hearts. Full of boisterous energy, joy and heartbreak, Tim Winton's vivid portrayal of the of the Australian landscape is nowhere more extraordinary than in this classic. 'Winton is a one-man band of genius' - The Los Angeles Times Part of the Picador Collection, a series showcasing the best of modern literature.
