Title: Land's Edge
Description: On childhood holidays at the beach, the sun and surf kept Tim Winton outside in the mornings, in the water. The wind would drive him indoors in the afternoons, to books and reading. This ebb and flow of the day became a way of life. In this beautifully delicate memoir, Winton writes about his obsessions with what happens where the water meets the shore - about diving, dunes and beachcombing. And about the sense of being on the precarious, wondrous edge of things that also haunts his novels. Land's edge is a celebration of the coastal life and those who surrender themselves to it.
