Short-listed twice for the Booker Prize and the winner of a record four Miles Franklin Literary Awards for Best Australian Novel, he has a gift for language virtually unrivaled among writers in English.

All he carries with him is a rifle and a waterjug. All he wants is peace and freedom. But surviving in the harsh saltlands alone is a savage business. And once he discovers he's not alone out there, all Jaxie's plans go awry. He meets a fellow exile, the ruined priest Fintan MacGillis, a man he's never certain he can trust, but on whom his life will soon depend. \u003ci\u003eThe Shepherd's Hut\u003c\/i\u003e is a thrilling tale of unlikely friendship and yearning, at once brutal and lyrical, from one of our finest storytellers.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe preeminent Australian novelist of his generation, \u003cb\u003eTim Winton\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the bestselling novels \u003ci\u003eCloudstreet\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Riders\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eDirt Music\u003c\/i\u003e, among many other books.
