A paean to working-class Australians and an unflinching examination of the human heart's capacity for sorrow, joy, and the endless gradations in between, Cloudstreet exemplifies the brilliant ability of fiction to captivate and inspire.
Cloudstreet is Tim Winton's great family drama, a twenty-year story of life and love, full of boisterous energy, joy, and heartbreak. His visceral evocation of the Australian landscape is nowhere more extraordinary than in this classic.
"Winton explores the haphazard nature of human existence with a quietly focused ferocity. Featuring lyrical passages and rapid-fire, minimally punctuated dialogue, this satiric, affectionate family saga is tragic and hilarious--and often both at once." -- Publishers Weekly
