Land's Edge

By Tim Winton Landsedge_thumbnail

Despite our outback mythology, Australians are coastal people and it’s hard to think of a more thoroughly coastal writer than Tim Winton. In his novels for adults and children the sea is always luminously present. Land's Edge is a record of Winton’s obsession with the margin between the desert and the sea, a memoir of coastal boyhood and a celebration of the last wild places we still cherish.
