Minimum of Two and Other Stories by Tim Winton, ISBN 9780143010531

> Fiction Books > General Books

Endurance links these small masterpieces. Winton's characters are ordinary people staring down the big challenges, the chafing frustrations, the random acts that lob across their path. They battle to make sense of things, to maintain loyalty against the odds. Their relationships strain under pressure, leaving them bewildered, hoping, sometimes fleeing, but often finding strength in forgotten parts of themselves.
