The great Australian novel is now one of our finest television miniseries. Twenty years after its publication, Australia's favourite novel has finally come to life on the screen. Adapted for television by Tim Winton and Ellen Fontana, Cloudstreet is a rambunctious saga of haunting, loving and letting go. This companion to the miniseries includes the complete shooting script, an essay by producer Greg Haddrick on the process of adaptation, and scores of evocative photographs from the production.
Tim Winton has published twenty-six books for adults and children, and his work has been translated into twenty-eight languages. Since his first novel, An Open Swimmer, won the Australian Vogel Award in 1981, he has won the Miles Franklin Award four times (for Shallows,Cloudstreet, Dirt Music and Breath) and twice been shortlisted for the Booker Prize (for The Riders and Dirt Music). He lives in Western Australia. Find out more on Facebook
