A mystical relation to self

It is obvious what the text CLOUDSTREET has to say about family relationships and the need for experience in life and understanding, but reading beneath the texts obvious words are themes which are somewhat covered by the more obvious way of life of the Pickles and the Lambs. To discover the truth about both the families and also about yourself, you need to search beyond the texts simple themes and discover the true meanings for yourself. Such as the themes of spirituality and dependence discussed in the book.

Winton Very convincing.

This book is inspiring. It channels the journey of an emotionaly disturbed man, Fish, who is in his own world. His family, and their saga is explored deeply and meaningfully as well.
