I’ve just added my review of this memoir of the author’s life in Western Australia to EmmabBooks.com . Island Home by Tim Winton is perfect for anyone who loves Australia, or wants to know more about this beautiful “island”. All the best. Emma

Interested to read this – particularly your comment about having to google some of Winton’s terminology. I haven’t read it but did read his novel Cloudstreet, which a bookseller recommended on a recent visit to Australia (apparently it ranks v high amongst Australian’s favourite novels). That, too, was full of evocative language which I didn’t know but could often guess at. I’d never read anything quite like it – in a way rambling, but eventually pulled together; the journey itself viscerally compelling. I would strongly recommend it.
