About the AuthorTim Winton has published twenty-five books for adults and children, and his work has been translated into twenty-eight languages. As they roister and rankle, the place that began as a roof over their heads becomes a home for their hearts. From separate catastrophes, two families - the Pickles and Lambs - flee to the city and find themselves thrown together, forced to start their lives afresh. 1 Cloudstreet: a broken-down house on the wrong side of the tracks, a place teeming with memories, with shudders and shadows and spirits. Will you look at us by the river! The whole restless mob of us on spread blankets in the dreamy briny sunshine skylarking and chiacking about for one day, one clear, clean, sweet day in a good world in the midst of our living. His visceral evocation of the Australian landscape is nowhere more extraordinary than in this classic. Winner of Australia's prestigious Miles Franklin Award, Cloudstreet is Tim Winton's great family drama, a twenty-year story of life and love, full of boisterous energy, joy and heartbreak.
