Reseñas
WHY AM I GETTING THE WRONG BOOK GROUPED WITH MY CLOUDSTREET?? I'M GETTING ANOTHER BOOK ENTIRELY. Also, when I added this book, I had the right cover selected ... and now I have a placeholder brown cover.
Australia after the war. Two families sharing a house on Cloudstreet. He is an amazing writer.

The titular story at the centre of the book is an incredibly moving account of a woman coming to know the love of Christ. I don’t think I’ve ever read a positive portrayal of Christianity in a work of fiction like this.
