'Exquisite . . . Winton's writing - lyrical yet visceral - seems formed by Western Australia's variety, its sparkling rivers and red deserts' SpectatorWestern Australia is a place of vast desert and soaring height, of swamps and bush, sea caves and scrub. It is a landscape that has written itself into Tim Winton's soul. From his childhood, whether wriggling deep into the sea-carved rock itself, camping in hidden inlets, or walking in the high rocky desert fringe, Winton has felt the place seep into him - its rhythms, its dangers, its strange sustenance. Island Home is the story of how that relationship with the landscape came to be. Charged with love for the huge, besieging force of Australia's wild spaces, this book is a passionate call for their conservation, a memoir that urges us all to feel the ground beneath our feet. 'Both a celebration of Australia's wild places and an impassioned argument for their preservation' Daily Telegraph'[A] small jewel of a book' Times Literary Supplement
