Cloudstreet by Tim Winton
5.0

One of my favorite discoveries from my business trip to Melbourne is Tim Winton's writing. A bookstore on Collins had a section with the top 100 novels of Australian readers... And there sat this Cloudstreet book I'd never heard off (at number three, no less!)

Sense of place, history of place, and characters are so vivid, complex, deliciously described. So rich, so funny and sad and observant. Highly recommend.
