In all my reading, I have never come across a book with surfing as its backdrop..until now! I was catching up on my NPR reading and came across this article about Breath, by Tim Winton. Click here to read what Barnes and Noble had to say about it.
Has anyone read it?

Haven’t read anything by Tim Winton yet, but I’ve got his Cloudstreet and Dirt Music on my list of ideas for my book group where we read books from a region. He’s one of my Australia representatives. He’s a popular and well-respected writer in Australia. Here it doesn’t seem like we hear too much about him.
