Book Description:
Georgie Jutland is a mess. At forty, with her career in ruins, she finds herself stranded in White Point with a fisherman she doesn't love and two kids whose dead mother she can never replace. Her days have fallen into domestic tedium and social isolation. Her nights are a blur of vodka and pointless loitering in cyberspace. Leached of all confidence, Georgie has lost her way; she barely recognises herself. One morning, in the boozy pre-dawn gloom, she looks up from the computer screen to see a shadow lurking on the beach below, and a dangerous new element enters her life. Luther Fox, the local poacher. Jinx. Outcast In prose as haunting and beautiful as its western setting, "Dirt Music" confirms Tim Winton's status as one of the finest novelists of his generation.

Review by Margaret 
Winton's sense of place is amazing.

The beauty of this book lies in the character definition; it is told in short chapters with no quotation marks and is very creative. The way he conveys the personal odyssey of the central characters and links it to the landscape of Western Australia is amazing. You will feel their pain and joy whilst feeling you are there.

I loved it.
