Jo’s Reviews

As the novel develops, we find out how she came to be living on the streets, and how her life could have been very different.

Lessons is an intense, compassionate and enormously satisfying read that will stay with you long after you close the covers.

the relentless pace of the story made this a charming and fiercely compelling read, full of heart. Meaty and riveting fiction.

Written in true Winton form, it’s gritty, character-driven, and rich, with beautiful but threatening images of the natural world.
