Breath
Author(s): Tim Winton
This is a pre-read/used book. Condition: Fair. Jacket cover in good contion. Tanning/foxing on edges of pages. Pen inscription on first page. Winner of the Miles Franklin Literary Award 2009 More than once since then I've wondered whether the life-threatening high jinks that Loonie and I and Sando and Eva got up to in the years of my adolescence were anything more than a rebellion against the monotony of drawing breath. Breathis a story about the wildness of youth - the lust for excitement and terror, the determination to be extraordinary, the wounds that heal and those that don't - and about learning to live with its passing. In his first novel for seven years, Tim Winton has achieved a new level of mastery. Breath confirms him as one of the world's finest storytellers, a writer of novels that are at the same time simple and profound, relentlessly gripping and deeply moving.
