The Turning

By: Tim Winton

Narrated by: Humphrey Bower, Caroline Lee

2007 Audie Award finalist. From the internationally acclaimed and best-selling author of Dirt Music comes an outstanding work of fiction that will resonate with readers everywhere.

Here are turnings of all kinds - changes of heart, nasty surprises, slow awakenings, sudden detours - where people struggle against the terrible weight of the past and challenge the lives they've made for themselves. Beautifully crafted, and as tender as they are confronting, these elegiac stories examine the darkness and frailty of ordinary people and celebrate the moments when the light shines through.

Critic reviews

"Plot and prose combine to create what might just come close to being the perfect Australian novel." ( Herald Sun)

The Turning

True Tim Winton stuff, real ozzie and down right honest, great for travelling with.

Audible should have mentioned that...

The words or description “a collection of vaguely interlinked short stories “ without a convergence point, which is what this beautifully written, highly evocative and scenic book is, would have been a great help before buying it, the author takes you on a 10 hour journey to nowhere in particular ... unless I completely missed the point, I’m a little peeved by pointlessness in any quite enjoyable book.
