Audio Book: Dirt Music by Tim Winton, read by Suzi Dougherty

As a reader, what I love about Winton’s books are his characters. Flawed, complex and very human, they make the story for me in all of his books. Listening to an audio version of Dirt Music, I found myself focusing on the dialogue, which is plain and circumspect. As a result, it took a lot longer for me to engage with the book when listening than it ever has when reading.
