mlautchi 's review for:
Cloudstreet
by Tim Winton
If this book were a feeling, it'd be like when everything is going wrong but you are laughing, laughing despite it all and somehow still in love with life. I felt a lot reading this, I can tap into the nostalgia for Western Australia, and all the imagery of Perth with its pretensions and ambition, and I don't know what it would be like reading this without that.
