On childhood holidays to the western coast, Tim Winton's days
followed a joyous rhythm. In the mornings, the sun and surf kept
him outside, in the water. In the afternoons, as the horizon
wobbled with mirages and the wind came in from the ocean, he was
driven inside, to books. In the 'simple, peculiar shack' that his
family borrowed each year there was a small library: a room with
four walls of books, a world unto itself. In this beautifully
delicate memoir, Winton writes about his obsession with what
happens where the water meets the shore about diving, dunes,
beachcombing and the sense of being on the precarious, wondrous
edge of things that haunts his novels. It is a book about the ebb
and flow that became a way of life, and that shaped one of our
finest writers. 'Both a serial romantic and a truly gifted
novelist' Mariella Frostrup, Mail on Sunday
