Cloudstreet

Australiana Classics General Fiction

Tim Winton’s Cloudstreet unfurls across two decades in a sprawling Perth house, stitching the fortunes of the boisterous Pickles and staunch Lambs into an unforgettable Australian family saga. First published in 1998, this hardcover Viking edition captures the novel’s award-winning blend of drama, humour and salty coastal magic that has made it a contemporary classic.

Set against a post-war landscape of racetracks, rivers and restless dreams, the story celebrates ordinary lives lived large: food, fishing, faith and the ties that both bind and chafe. Winton’s lyrical prose and keen eye for place give the house on Cloud Street a pulse of its own, turning domestic moments into something mythic and deeply humane.

Presented in very good condition, this 426-page copy arrives clean, tight and unmarked—no writing, tears or dog-eared corners, and from a smoke-free home. Perfect for collectors of modern Australian literature or readers discovering the novel for the first time.

Slip this sturdy hardcover onto your shelf and let its generous spirit linger long after the final page.
