Description
Tim Winton's childhood holidays to the western coast were a joyous rhythm of sun, surf, and books. The mornings were spent outside, in the water, while the afternoons were driven inside, to the small library in the family's annual 'simple, peculiar shack'. This memoir is a beautiful and delicate exploration of Winton's obsession with the place where the water meets the shore.
From diving and dunes to beachcombing and the sense of being on the edge of things, Land's Edge: A Coastal Memoir is a book about the ebb and flow that became a way of life, shaping one of Australia's finest writers. A deeply personal and reflective work, it is a testament to the power of the natural world to inspire and inform our writing.
