The Turning: New Stories by Tim Winton

litfan, July 1, 2006

Once you begin to see what Winton sets out to accomplish here, sheer awe sets in. These stories bristle and shimmer, forming a many-faceted gem. They reveal how we are shaped by past experiences and how at times we remain captive to them, at times transcend them. Winton's landscapes invade the mind's eye, reverberate long after the book has been put down. The way in which the characters gradually bind themselves to the reader's heart is as mysterious as the worlds they inhabit. Highly recommended reading.
