'Tim Winton's finest novel to date' Eileen Battersby, Irish Times Books of 2014

Tom Keely is failing. Barricaded in his apartment, perched on the tenth floor, he watches as the world he sought to protect marches towards ecological disaster. Into the lonely wreckage of Tom's life wanders Kai: a fragile young boy who might be Tom's best chance at redemption.

Slowly, a broken boy learns to trust a man, and a broken man grows to love a boy. With a little bit of courage, and some minor heroics, their friendship might save them both.

'Winton's latest novel is one of his best. Visceral, wry, emotionally complex . . . packed with black humour, tragedy and pathos' Scotland on Sunday

'For a quarter of a century he has been steadfastly producing an oeuvre of beauty and distinction, with his stories of lost souls, family bonds and redemption. This is an enthralling novel' Mail on Sunday

'After reading this novel, I had a feeling of bruised revelation' Evie Wyld, Guardian
