    Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Robin Whitten discuss the celebrated Australian author’s work, narrated expertly by Caroline Lee and Humphrey Bower. This collection of interlocking stories chronicles all that life has to offer, both good and bad, in a Western Australian coastal town. They are spare, emotional vignettes that focus on choices and consequences. Bower and Lee’s voices alternate throughout the story, and are strong, clear, and emotional without being overwrought or dramatic. A unique listening experience. Tim Winton’s audiobooks will be in discussion in an upcoming AudioFile webinar. Register for the event here: https://bit.ly/3bvTJLg
