Dirt Music

Tim Winton · 2001 CE · Novel · Australian · Contemporary

Georgie Jutland, a nurse living unhappily with a fisherman in a Western Australian port town, falls for Luther Fox, a poacher shunned by the community after a family catastrophe. When he flees north into the Kimberley, she follows him. Shortlisted for the Booker, it set Winton's lyrical regional realism against a vast and unforgiving landscape.
