中文简介:Cloudstreet是1991年澳大利亚作家蒂姆温顿的小说。它记录了两个工薪阶层家庭的生活,他们在1943年至1963年间在珀斯的一个叫做Cloudstreet的大房子里住了20年。“20多年来,他们的生活交织在一起,共同的家庭经历,生与死,婚姻和通奸,欢乐与失落,以他们无法预料的方式将他们联系在一起。”
英文简介:After two separate catastrophes, two very different families leave the country for the bright lights of Perth. The Lambs are industrious, united, and—until God seems to turn His back on their boy Fish—religious. The Pickleses are gamblers, boozers, fractious, and unlikely landlords.
Change, hardship, and the war force them to swallow their dignity and share a great, breathing, shuddering house called Cloudstreet. Over the next twenty years, they struggle and strive, laugh and curse, come apart and pull together under the same roof, and try as they can to make their lives.
Winner of the Miles Franklin Award and recognized as one of the greatest works of Australian literature, Cloudstreet is Tim Winton's sprawling, comic epic about luck and love, fortitude and forgiveness, and the magic of the everyday.
