Le roman de Tim Winton témoigne d'une rare puissance : la sensualité de son style, la poésie de ses personnages, la rudesse de ses descriptions font de l'histoire d'un amour fou un road-movie initiatique. Georgie Jutland is a mess. At forty, with her career in ruins, she finds herself stranded with a fisherman she doesn’t love and two kids whose dead mother she can never replace. Her days have fallen into domestic tedium and social isolation. Her nights are a blur of vodka and pointless loitering in cyberspace.
