Reviews

The Shepherd’s Hut is wonderful. Brutal, agonizing, tender. Ultimately, it’s a story of redemption and hopeSarah Winman, author of When God Was a Rabbit and Tin Man
A novel that reminds us what fiction can do. Here is a voice that digs into your viscera and changes you from the inside. This is fiction in the raw.Ross Raisin, author of God's Own Country
Winton’s novel of breaking and mending is a searing, ardent and deeply empathetic dive into the turmoil of a mutilated heart. I will never be able to unhear the voice of young Jaxie Clackton, plangent and profane, who is destined to become one of the greatest characters in Australian literature.Geraldine Brooks, author of Year of Wonders

Even a regular Tim Winton novel - if such a thing exists - would knock most other novels into a cocked hat,
but The Shepherd's Hut is Winton at the top of his game, and that's saying something. A fierce, pungent, slangy,
humdinger of a book, with a real kick in the tail. Fiction doesn't get much better than this

Rupert Thomson, author of Divided Kingdom
