Tim Winton’s modern love story about people stifled by grief or regret, whose dreams are lost, and whose hopes have all but dried up. "Awe-inspiring... There are few finer stylists writing in English today"  (Chicago Tribune).

"Winton’s book performs the difficult feat of combining poetic lyricism with the blood and guts of life... his ability to describe the glorious Aussie seascape is unparalleled."  -  Marie Claire (UK)

At the age of 40, Georgie Jutland finds herself stranded in White Point, a fishing community north of Perth, with a fisherman she doesn’t love and two kids whose dead mother she can never replace. One morning a dangerous new element enters her life - Luther Fox, the local sea-poacher, jinx and outcast. 

Set in the wild landscape of Western Australia, this is a novel about the odds of breaking with the past. It’s a journey across landscapes within and without, about the music that sometimes arises from the dust.

"A sort of sexual shimmering pervades the atmosphere. Perhaps Winton’s most considerable achievement is his description of this fishing community, with its violence, its resentment of urban big shots... and its love of 'dirt music', an Australian composite of everything that was ever moaned along to a guitar in the United States."  -  The Guardian (UK)

"Stunningly written... It’s a revelation of a book... In Winton’s skilled hands, the vast landscape of Australia conjured with lyrical intensity, becomes a fittingly huge backdrop to events whose enormity is born out of desperation... All in all, it’s a magnificent book with themes as enormous as its landscape."  -  The Big Issue (UK)
