"From separate catastrophes two rural families flee to the city and find themselves sharing a great, breathing, shuddering joint called 'Cloudstreet', where they begin their lives again from scratch. For twenty years they roister and rankle, laugh and curse until the roof over their heads becomes a home for their hearts.
"Tim Winton's funny, sprawling saga is an epic novel of love and acceptance. Winner of the Miles Franklin and NBC Awards in Australia, 'Cloudstreet' is a celebration of people, places and rhythms which has fuelled imaginations world-wide."

A lovely collage of two families thrown together into one house. You share their good times and more often that not, the bad times. Quite a quick, easy read that most people will enjoy.
