If you're a fan of Winton you'll enjoy this. Written in true Winton style and form, he really aims to put you in the main characters shoes to really see and experience their life as they're living it as opposed to narration and attempting to relate you to the character.

I found the first half of the book to be a little slow. Once he stumbled across the shepherd's hut it picked up quite quickly. It also would have been nice to be able to continue along on Jaxie's journey. I feel I didn't get enough closure from the ending, but in relation to the title of the book it does tie everything together. Even if a little speedy for my liking.
