The Shepherd’s Hut

Literarischer Roman von Tim Winton

For years Jaxie Clackton has dreaded going home. His beloved mum is dead, and he wishes his dad was too, until one terrible moment leaves his life stripped to nothing. No one ever told Jaxie Clackton to be careful what he wishes for. And so Jaxie runs. There’s just one person in the world who understands him, but to reach her he’ll have to cross the vast saltlands of Western Australia. It is a place that harbours criminals and threatens to kill those who haven’t reckoned with its hot, waterless vastness.

Timothy John Winton (* 4. August 1960 bei Perth, Western Australia) ist ein australischer Schriftsteller. Er schrieb zahlreiche Romane, Sach- und Kinderbücher und erhielt mehrere Auszeichnungen, unter anderem viermal den Miles Franklin Award sowie den Commonwealth Writers Prize und wurde zweimal auf der Shortlist zum Booker Prize gelistet. „Winton does a marvelous job of keeping the reader engaged throughout the book. The characters are not only fascinating but also extremely engrossing. It is the language, landscape and Jaxie and Fintan that make this book what it is – a heady ride of self-discovery and friendship.” (Leserin) (230 Rezension / 4,4 Sterne), 281 Seiten noch günstig?
