  • "Suite à des drames distincts, deux familles que tout sépare, les Lamb et les Pickles, se retrouvent à partager une immense maison, Cloodstreet, autrefois théâtre de la mort d'une jeune aborigène. Pendant 20 ans, de 1943 à 1963, dans cette étrange demeure, ils vont surmonter les épisodes difficiles de la vie ensemble, jusqu'à ce que ce toit devienne le seul refuge cher à leurs coeurs."
  • "Hailed as a classic, Tim Winton's masterful family saga is both a paean to working-class Australians and an unflinching examination of the human heart's capacity for sorrow, joy, and endless gradations in between. An award-winning work, Cloudstreet exemplifies the brilliant ability of fiction to captivate and inspire. Struggling to rebuild their lives after being touched by disaster, the Pickle family, who've inherited a big house called Cloudstreet in a suburb of Perth, take in the God-fearing Lambs as tenants. The Lambs have suffered their own catastrophes, and determined to survive, they open up a grocery on the ground floor. From 1944 to 1964, the shared experiences of the two overpopulated clans -- running the gamut from drunkenness, adultery, and death to resurrection, marriage, and birth -- bond them to each other and to the bustling, haunted house in ways no one could have anticipated."
