I know it's a bit of a cliche but honestly Tim Winton could write a shopping list and I'd read it and rate it 5 stars. 

There's just something about his writing that has me immediately immersed in it. This little book is really just a collection of memories that explore his relationship to the sea, and touches on some bigger ideas about Australia, or Western Australia specifically. But it's a pleasure to read every single word of it. 

It's been a while since I read some of his books, but I'm sure I could see little sparks in here that I recognised from his fiction books. And more than anything this really made me want to go back and reread all of them, aswell as tracking down the few I haven't read yet.
