Publishers Description: Georgie Jutland is a mess. At forty, with her career in ruins, she finds herself stranded in White Point with a fisherman she doesnt love and two kids whose dead mother she can never replace. Leached of all confidence, she spends her days in isolation tedium and her nights in a blur of vodka self-recrimination. One morning, in the boozy pre-dawn gloom, she sees, a shadow drifting up the beach below - a loner called Luther Fox, with danger in his wake. Full of unforgettable characters, Dirt Music is Tim Wintons classic love song to land and place. The number one bestseller Awe-inspiring . . . There are few finer stylists writing in English today. Chicago Tribune Wonderfully alive, inventive and assured. The Age Vividly written in a seemingly efffortless prose that never puts a foot wrong. Sunday Times (London) His prose retains the power to both to shock and to fill us with wonder. The Bulletin A compelling novel. Times Literary Supplement Beautiful, aching . . . compelling. Washington Post
