Publishers Description: Tom Keelys reputation is in ruins. And thats the upside. Divorced and unemployed, hes lost faith in everything precious to him. From his seedy highrise flat Keely looks down at a society from which hes retired hurt and angry, well past caring. But he cannot avoid entanglement with the neighbours: a woman from his past, a boy the likes of which hes never met before. Two strangers leading a life beyond his experience and into whose orbit he falls despite himself. What follows is a heart-stopping, funny, exhilarating and haunting. Eyrie asks how, in an impossibly compromised world, we can ever hope to do the right thing. A superb tale of disillusionment and redemption, loss and beauty, this is Winton in top form . . . [He] has rarely been funnier. Michael Williams, The Guardian Australia Outstanding . . . From the opening pages you know you are in the hands of a master. Stephen Romei, Weekend Australian Tim Wintons Doris is a gem . . . The characterisations are a joy. Lyn Mills, Canberra Times An absurdly good writer . . . This is a fascinating, thought-provoking book. Publishers Weekly (US) Eyrie is breathtaking . . . honest, provocative and brilliant. William Yeoman, West Australian
