Breath

In **Breath by Tim Winton**, the Miles Franklin Literary Award–winning author delivers a vivid Australian coming-of-age novel that stays under your skin. It’s a fiercely readable story about risk, desire and the way youth can feel like its own kind of weather.

When paramedic Bruce Pike attends yet another accident involving a thrill-seeking teenager, the scene drags him straight back to his own adolescence on the WA coast. Decades earlier, Bruce and his mates chased bigger waves, bigger dares and the electric pull of feeling untouchable. What began as surfing soon sharpened into something more consuming, as new influences pushed the boys further than they understood.

Perfect for readers who love Australian literary fiction, surf culture, and psychologically astute novels about masculinity, memory and regret.

Add **Breath** to your shelves and see why Winton remains one of our most compelling storytellers.
