More obvious and simpler than usual for Winton, but extremely wholesome and enjoyable.

Perfectly fine for young people, but quite hamfisted at times.

Oh wow, I loved this.
Short, evocative chapters, with much left unsaid and unwritten.
Incredible descriptions of scenery, powerful exploration of place and space.
Coral reefs, conservation, living alongside the land, family, history, knowing what you want.
Beautiful. Can’t wait to book club it.
