Terrific Book


I heartily commend Dirt Music by Tim Winton.

When I finished reading it, sitting on a bench under some trees on a sunny morning in Krakow, I wrote the following in my notebook:

...a tremendously well-written, gripping and emotionally engaging novel, full of feeling, colour, [poetic description], memory and emotional power. At the end [details omitted so as not to spoil things], it makes you want to cry. A fine book. It feels like one that will resonate, like Cat's Eye
