From Tim Winton, Australia\'s most decorated and beloved novelist and the author of Cloudstreet, comes The Shepherd\'s Hut, the story of a young man on a thrilling journey of self-discovery in one of the harshest, near-uninhabitable climates on Earth.
He meets a fellow exile, the ruined.
And once he discovers he\'s not alone out there, all Jaxie\'s plans go awry.
But surviving in the harsh saltlands alone is a savage business.
All he wants is peace and freedom.
All he carries with him is a rifle and a waterjug.
In The Shepherd\'s Hut, Winton crafts the story of Jaxie Clackton, a brutalized rural youth who flees from the scene of his father\'s violent death and strikes out for the vast wilds of Western Australia.
His work is both tough and tender, primordial and new--always revealing the raw, instinctual drives that lure us together and rend us apart.
Short-listed twice for the Booker Prize and the winner of a record four Miles Franklin Literary Awards for Best Australian Novel, he has a gift for language virtually unrivaled among writers in English.
