Tim Winton's heart-stopping, exhilarating Eyrie asks how, in an impossibly compromised world, we can ever hope to do the right thing.
Tom Keely’s reputation is in ruins. And that’s the upside.
Divorced and unemployed, he’s lost faith in everything precious to him. From his seedy high-rise flat Keely looks down at a society from which he’s retired hurt and angry, well past caring. But he cannot avoid entanglement with the neighbours: a woman from his past, a boy the likes of whom he’s never met before. Two strangers leading a life beyond his experience and into whose orbit he falls despite himself.
'Winton marries an ordinary life with moral seriousness to great effect.'
The Australian Financial Review
'Eyrie, with so much of the seedy side of town, is a good example of what Winton calls 'marinating in the sounds and lives of other people'. How it then translates to Winton's mastery as a storyteller is what we get to enjoy.'
Canberra Times
'An absurdly good writer ... This is a fascinating, thought-provoking book.'
Publishers Weekly
'A superb tale of disillusionment and redemption, loss and beauty, this is Winton in top form ... [He] has rarely been funnier.'
The Guardian
