Cloudstreet by John Enright
Across two decades midcentury in suburban Perth, two working-class families—the cash-poor, luck-prone Pickles and the industrious, faith-filled Lambs—inhabit a sprawling, ramshackle house that becomes the stage for grief, addiction, joy, and unlikely redemption; through vividly drawn characters (including a traumatised, otherworldly boy known as Fish) the narrative traces how ordinary lives are shaped by chance and ritual, showing how love, community and small miracles bind people together and transform a shared domestic space into something almost sacred.
