Set in western Australia, this new work from Winton (whose The Riders was nominated for a Booker Prize) follows the mercurial life of Georgie Jutland, who has moved into Jim Buckridge's home in an isolated fishing community. A former nurse who has survived some harsh postings in foreign lands, 40-year-old Georgie had spied Jim three years previously on a beach in Lombok, Indonesia, and is now trying to lead a settled life with him and his children. Jim is a widower trying to raise his two sons, who are none too pleased with this new living arrangement and make degrading comments about "stepmoms."
