Cloudstreet
by Tim Winton
A joy to read. Two families sharing a dilapidated house (Cloudstreet), separated by walls and fences and by their own insecurities play out their lives. Herein are multilayered characters intertwined with Lady Luck, the River, the shadows on the wall, tragedies and triumphs and the slow creep of Life. We learn to love some of them, accept others, feel the pain of a murderer and his family, eager to come along for the ride. Poetic description with a thread of magic realism, humorous dialog, characters growing and changing with time, tragedy and occasional joy - it's all here. You won't forget these people or Cloudstreet.
