Set on a coastal stretch of Western Australia, Tim Winton's
stunning collection of connected stories is about turnings of all
kinds -- changes of heart, slow awakenings, nasty surprises and
accidents, sudden detours, resolves made or broken. Brothers cease
speaking to each other, husbands abandon wives and children, grown
men are haunted by childhood fears. People struggle against the
weight of their own history and try to reconcile themselves to
their place in the world. With extraordinary insight and
tenderness, Winton explores the demons and frailties of ordinary
people whose lives are not what they had hoped.
