Publisher Description

Cloudstreet gets you inside the very skin of postwar working-class Australians the way Joyce makes you feel like a turn-of-the-century Dubliner.” —Elizabeth Ward, The Washington Post

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.

“Winton is a one-man band of genius.” —Carolyn See, Los Angeles Times

“Nothing short of magnificent . . . A wonderful read.” —Andrew Yule, Time Out (New York)

“[A] marvelous postmodern novel of family life . . . One of those rare novels that warm the heart, as well as spark the imagination.” —Kirkus Reviews
