I just saw the mini-series of this and what a wonderful job they did (with Tim Winton's supervision) of bringing the Lambs and Pickles to life (and otherwise).
Humour, sadness and the unexplained are always intriguingly intermingled in Winton's writing. His voice and style are distinctive and draw me into his stories, but I'm always left feeling as if I should have paid closer attention so, I would have understood more. Mind you, that makes it more interesting to re-read one day. ...more

This is a re-read (listen)for my bookclub. I loved it then, I loved it now! Tim Winton is an amazing author..I think he is either loved or hated. The story revolves around 2 families living in close proximity with each other (within the same large house), and their lives for over 20 years. Quick and Rose, their young teenage lives, first jobs, then their adult lives...and both their families all around them, constantly. It is definitely worth a read/listen.
