The Turning

‘Always a writer of crystalline prose, his lines of sinewy leanness achieve such clarity here that it seems one is reading line after line of perfect music . . . To read Winton is to be reminded not just of the possibilities of fiction but of the human heart’ The Times

‘The laureate of Western Australia is back . . . this is like Carver, happily with a very large dose of Winton’ Time Out

'These stories are threaded through with subtleties and oblique connections; to be fully appreciated, they need to be read more than once. But Winton's writing – vigorous, vivid, precise – is so good that you'd want to do that anyway’ Sunday Times

‘Sublime. Winton is a great writer’ Daily Mail
