Short-listed twice for the Booker Prize and the winner of a record four Miles Franklin Literary Awards for Best Australian Novel, he has a gift for language virtually unrivaled among writers in English. His work is both tough and tender, primordial and new - always revealing the raw, instinctual drives that lure us together and rend us apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn The Shepherd's Hut, Winton crafts the story of Jaxie Clackton, a brutalized rural youth who flees from the scene of his father's violent death and strikes out for the vast wilds of Western Australia. All he carries with him is a rifle and a waterjug. All he wants is peace and freedom. But surviving in the harsh saltlands alone is a savage business. And once he discovers he's not alone out there, all Jaxie's plans go awry. He meets a fellow exile, the ruined priest Fintan MacGillis, a man he's never certain he can trust, but on whom his life will soon depend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Shepherd's Hut is a thrilling tale of unlikely friendship and yearning, at once brutal and lyrical, from one of our finest storytellers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42424394645578,"sku":"5318t","price":9.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/5318t_17e48422-6952-45e7-afe7-74259ce95832.jpg?v=1773036983","url":"https:\/\/www.bookexpress.nz\/products\/the-shepherds-hut-by-tim-winton","provider":"Book Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
