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.

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. \u003ci\u003eThe Shepherd's Hut\u003c\/i\u003e is a thrilling tale of unlikely friendship and yearning, at once brutal and lyrical, from one of our finest storytellers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49668380983569,"sku":"CIN0374262322G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50334269014289,"sku":"CIN0374262322A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50529203061009,"sku":"CIN0374262322VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53239163355409,"sku":"GOR009425204","price":16.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0374262322.jpg?v=1750782085","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/shepherd-s-hut-book-tim-winton-9780374262327","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
