Professional reviews
"Winner of the Miles Franklin Literary Award and now a major film. “An absorbing, powerful and deeply beautiful novel, a meditation on surfing which becomes a rumination about the very stuff of existence”” THE OBSERVER “This brilliant book may well turn out to be the finest thing that Winton has done” SYDNEY MORNING HERALD “It's unlikely Winton has ever written as well as he writes in Breath . . . Its seeming simplicity is deceptive, for beneath its pared-back surfaces lies all the steel of a major novelist operating at full throttle in a territory he has spent 25 years making his own.” THE AGE “Breath is about moving out of your depth, getting in over your head, having your soul damaged beyond repair . . . But against all this pointless sorrow, there remains the evanescent beauty of the world, and Winton matches that with limitlessly beautiful prose” WASHINGTON POST"
