The Riders tells the story of an Australian man, Fred Scully, and his 6 year old daughter Billie. Scully, as he is known, and his wife Jennifer have planned to move from Australia to a cottage they have purchased in Ireland. His wife and daughter are due to arrive in Ireland but at the airport only Billie arrives, traumatised and unable to tell her father what has happened or why her mother put her on the plane alone. The story then follows Scully and Billie as they travel around Europe retracing the steps of their previous travel, trying to find Jennifer and work out why she left them.

I find Tim Winton books a bit long winded and this is no exception.

Arrived here safely. Thanks Keeta1 for tagging me!
I have enjoyed a few of Tim Winton's books before (Cloudstreet, Breath, Dirt Music), so I'm looking forward to this one. :)

I took this with me on holiday but didn't manage to finish and release it there. I really like Tim Winton's writing style and have to admit that sometimes that was what kept me reading. The main character, Scully, really annoyed me at times, dragging his sick daughter around Europe. Though I was tickled about the part in Amsterdam (as I half live there). The bit about the ghost riders (from the title) really confused me and I don't know what to make of that.
