THE SHEPHERD’S HUT

Powerful and thought-provoking, this is Tim Winton at his lyrical best. Fifteen-year-old Jaxie is on the run. The police think he killed his father and it’s no wonder. He and his late mother were both abused by him. Jaxie’s journey takes him into the harsh Western Australian desert where he meets an old man in a shepherd’s hut. But who is this man and why is he in exile?
