Příběh Jaxieho Clacktona, brutálního venkovského mladíka, která prchá z místa násilné smrti svého otce do divočiny západní Austrálie. Má s sebou jen pušku a džbán na vodu. Chce jen mír a svobodu. Život v drsné solné poušti je ale tvrdý. Když zjistí, že tam není sám, všechny jeho plány se zvrhnou. Potkává zničeného kněze Fintana MacGillise, muže, o kterém si nikdy není jistý, zda mu může věřit, přesto ale bude jeho život na něm záviset.

‘A fragmented, hilarious, crude, mystical soap opera. In a rich Australian idiom, Winton lets his characters rip against an evocation of Perth so intense you can smell it’ Sunday Telegraph Cloudstreet – a broken-down house of former glories on the wrong side of the tracks, a place teeming with memories of its own, a place of shudders and shadows and spirits. From separate catastrophes, two families flee to the city and find themselves sharing this great sighing structure and beginning their lives again from scratch. Together they roister and rankle in a house that begins as a roof over their heads and becomes a home for their hearts. In this fresh, funny novel, full of wonder and dreams, Tim Winton weaves the threads of lifetimes, of twenty years of shouting and fighting, laughing and grafting, into a story about acceptance and belonging. ‘Imagine Neighbours being taken over by the writing team of John Steinbeck and Gabriel García Márquez and you’ll be close to the heart of Winton’s impressive tale’ Time Out
