From award-winning author Tim Winton comes an epic novel that
regularly tops the list of best-loved novels in Australia.
After two separate catastrophes, two very different families leave
the country for the bright lights of Perth. The Lambs are
industrious, united, and--until God seems to turn His back on their
boy Fish--religious. The Pickleses are gamblers, boozers,
fractious, and unlikely landlords.
Change, hardship, and the war force them to swallow their dignity
and share a great, breathing, shuddering house called Cloudstreet.
Over the next twenty years, they struggle and strive, laugh and
curse, come apart and pull together under the same roof, and try as
they can to make their lives.
Winner of the Miles Franklin Award and recognized as one of the
greatest works of Australian literature, "Cloudstreet" is Tim
Winton's sprawling, comic epic about luck and love, fortitude and
forgiveness, and the magic of the everyday.
