Cloudstreet Summary

Cloudstreet by Tim Winton

Winner of the Miles Franklin Award
Magnificent The New York Times
Winton is just one of the best Independent

Cloudstreet is Tim Winton's epic family drama, a story of love and turmoil spanning decades.

No. 1 Cloudstreet: a broken-down house on the wrong side of the tracks, a place teeming with memories, with shudders and shadows and spirits. From separate catastrophes, two families the Pickles and the Lambs flee to the city and find themselves thrown together, forced to start their lives afresh. As they roister and rankle, the place that began as a roof over their heads becomes a home for their hearts.

Cloudstreet is Tim Wintons great family drama, a twenty-year story of life and love, full of boisterous energy, joy and heartbreak. His vivid portrayal of the of the Australian landscape is nowhere more extraordinary than in this classic.

Cloudstreet Reviews

A generous watery epic . . . Winton is just one of the best * Independent *
Imagine Neighbours being taken over by the writing team of John Steinbeck and Gabriel Garcia Marquez and you'll be close to the heart of Winton's impressive tale * Time Out *
Brimful of wonderful characters and radiates with the warmth and generosity of the human spirit and the pathos of individual lives. Never sentimental Winton is a masterful storyteller with an enormous heart -- Mariella Frostrup
A fragmented, hilarious, crude, mystical soap opera. In a rich Australian idiom, Winton lets his characters rip against an evocation of Perth so intense you can smell it * Sunday Telegraph *
He is a novelist, a great one, because against all evidence and odds, he reminds us what it is to be human, and reminds us to be proud of our humanity . . . Winton is a one-man band of genius * Los Angeles Times *
Nothing short of magnificent . . . A wonderful read * New York Times *
