Two working-class families share a large house in Perth from 1943 to 1963 — the Lambs and the Pickles, thrown together by accidents and tragedies, building their lives in the ordinary Australian way. Winton writes in a prose that carries the rhythms of Australian vernacular speech, the landscape of the Swan River, the specific texture of postwar Australian working-class life. The most beloved Australian novel of the 20th century and the one that most honestly captures what white Australian life actually felt and smelled and sounded like — without glamour, without pretension, with enormous warmth.
