ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- Winton’s latest is an exhilarating read – a cross between a Mad Max film and Cormac McCarthy’s The Road, peppered with a dry wit throughout.

Earth is battling with a vengeful climate, with inhabitants spending large parts of the year underground. The brutal landscape has changed people’s demeanor and morals. The narrator and a young girl are held captive – the prisoner begins to relate his story to his gaoler in an effort to ensure their safety and to buy some time.

This really is a classic page tuner with strong environmental theme and although it’s been a while for a new book from Winton it’s been worth the wait. Greg

An epic novel of determination, survival, and the limits of the human spirit. This is Tim Winton as you’ve never read him before.

Two fugitives, a man and a child, drive all night across a stony desert. As dawn breaks, they roll into an abandoned mine site. From the vehicle they survey a forsaken place – middens of twisted iron, rusty wire, piles of sun-baked trash. They’re exhausted, traumatised, desperate now. But as a refuge, this is the most promising place they’ve seen. The child peers at the field of desolation. The man thinks to himself, this could work.

Problem is, they’re not alone.

So begins a searing, propulsive journey through a life whose central challenge is not simply a matter of survival, but of how to maintain human decency as everyone around you falls ever further into barbarism.
