The Shepherd's Hut by Tim Winton

5.0

Oh wow, how good is this book! I've read most of Winton, but this is quite a departure from his other work. Written in first person, it's the story of a young man fleeing a shit home situation in WA across desert salt-mining country, where he hooks up with a disgraced priest living in the bush.

I read it at every opportunity (a proper page turner I haven't had since The Beach) - one of those books where you have to stop your eyes from flicking to the bottom of the page to see what's coming next.

Brilliant - Winton has outdone himself. 5 stars! More like this please!
