Eyrie
Divorced, drunk and disillusioned, Tom Keely is doing his best to distance himself from everyone and everything. From the top of his lofty perch a monstrous Fremantle highrise he see nothing but misery and destruction, a wasteland of modern greed. Here enters Gemma and Kai, desperately in need of his help they pull Tom kicking and screaming out of his self destructive spiral into oblivion. Once again, Keely has a purpose, something to live for, as he clumsily attempts to save Gemma and Kai from impending danger. Fast paced, tense and unforgettable, Tim Winton has returned masterful as ever, exploring the bleak underbelly of modern Australia. Eyrie defiantly has a darkness, a futility to it that feels different from Winton's previous novels, though it maintains a beauty to it, that has made Winton one of Australia's best and favourite authors.
