Publisher's Synopsis
'I grew up on the world's largest island.' This apparently simple fact is the starting point for Tim Winton's beautiful, evocative and sometimes provocative memoir of how Australia's unique landscape has shaped him and his writing. Wise, rhapsodic, exalted - 'Island Home' is not just a moving insight into the life and art of one of our finest writers, but a compelling investigation into the way our country shapes us.
