'Compelling' Independent
'Beautiful' Sunday Telegraph

Georgie Jutland is a mess. At forty, with her career in ruins, she finds herself stranded with a man she doesn't love and two kids whose dead mother she can never replace. She spends her days in isolated tedium and her nights in a blur of vodka and self-recrimination. Until, early one morning, she sees a shadow drifting up the beach below her house. It is Luther Fox, an outcast, a man on the run from his own past. And now here he is stepping into Georgie's life. He brings hope, maybe even love, but also danger . . .

Dirt Music by Tim Winton is a novel about the power of love.

Media Reviews
Generous, earthy and raw . . . Mysteries don't come more heartfelt than this * Independent *
Winton keeps writing fiction that makes the novel feel alive to a continent of possibilities * Evening Standard *
Winton is not a great Australian novelist; he is a great novelist, full stop * The Times *
Written in seemingly effortless prose that never puts a foot wrong * Sunday Times *
A book about the possibility and power of love . . . just pick it up and you'll be transported * Mail on Sunday *
Winton's writing is a heady blend of muscular description, deep sentiment and metaphysics . . . Dirt Music is a beautiful celebration of his country * Sunday Telegraph *
Stunningly written . . . a revelation . . . a magnificent book with themes as enormous as its landscape * Big Issue *
