His visceral evocation of the Australian landscape is nowhere more extraordinary than in this classic.No. 1 Cloudstreet: a broken-down house on the wrong side of the tracks, a place teeming with memories, with shudders and shadows and spirits.

As they roister and rankle, the place that began as a roof over their heads becomes a home for their hearts.With an introduction by Philip Hensher
