Blueback by Tim Winton

This book was well received when it came out in 1997 but I didn’t get around to reading it.

My mum picked it up at a secondhand store the other day so I read it.

I did enjoy the book.  It is a simple story but it seems rushed in parts.

Some beautiful images in simple sentences show Winton’s strength as a writer.

Suitable for lower secondary or upper primary.
