Dirt Music by Tim Winton, ISBN 9780330364430

> Fiction Books > Literature Books

Woman overboard. This is how Georgie Jutland feels, aged forty, drinking too much, living with a man haunted by the memory of his dead wife, with two stepchildren, a discarded career, and precious few friends.

Spending her days keeping the household running smoothly, and her evenings watching the blinking icons on the computer screen, she's adrift again. Not like her fisherman partner Jim. Born and bred in White Point, he was. Good old Jim Buckridge. But a chance meeting with shamateur and town reject Luther Fox changes Georgie's life forever.

This is a journey into the hearts of three people trying not to unravel, to get through the day, divided by grief and regret. Written in language as subtly beautiful as its setting, 'Dirt Music' once more proves why Tim Winton is one of Australia's best-loved and most talented writers.
