Short-listed for prestigious literary awards this year, Winton impresses with lyrical descriptions of a beautiful and literally breath-taking, wild natural environment. One almost surfs on the rhythms of the prose! While on one hand this is another insightful visit to youthful rites of passage in a coastal town in Western Australia, it also explores with convincing immediacy, compulsive behaviour and addictions of one kind or another. (Margaret Teh - bwl 51 May 2009) |
