About this listen

Shortlisted for the 2014 Indie Awards

Tom Keely's reputation is in ruins. And that's the upside.

Divorced and unemployed, he's lost faith in everything precious to him. Holed up in a grim high-rise, cultivating his newfound isolation, Keely looks down at a society from which he's retired, hurt and angry. He's done fighting the good fight, and well past caring.

But even in his seedy flat, ducking the neighbours, he's not safe from entanglement. All it takes is an awkward encounter in the lobby. A woman from his past, and a boy the likes of which he's never met before. Two strangers leading a life beyond his experience and into whose orbit he falls despite himself.

What follows is a heart-stopping, groundbreaking novel for our times—funny, confronting, exhilarating and haunting. Inhabited by unforgettable characters, Eyrie asks how, in an impossibly compromised world, we can ever hope to do the right thing.

Tim Winton does it again!

I’ve loved Tim Winton’s novels ever since I first read Cloudstreet at 15. Another character driven complex romantic drama. Loved it!

Monotone narration

I love Tim Winton’s books and have read nearly all of them. Couldn’t get into this one. I’m sure it’s a great as all his other books but the narration is awful. Monotone, poor diction. Impossible to focus on the story. Such a shame.

Riveting.

Winton writes so evocatively and with such visual clarity that you feel part of the story. Brilliant.

Misery........

The poor guy in this really has a fairly miserable trot. Things dont really seem to get better for him. Probably not a feel-good story.
