With Breath, Tim Winton's writing has attained a new level of mastery. Half a lifetime later, Pike can't free himself from where the ride took him. In the endless search for the biggest wave, the biggest high, some riders don't make it. But the sea can teach the hard way, and so could Sando. He taught them about surfing, and about life. Gradually Loonie and Pike got to know this loner, Sando, who took them under his wing, showing them secret beaches and ever-bigger waves. He turned up alone, when the swell was highest, and left the rest of them for dead. They couldn't help it: they were terrified they were addicted.Īmong the local surfers, one guy stood out. When Loonie and Pike started to surf, they cycled from Angelus to the beach with their Styrofoam boards, buffeted by the wind and, when they finally get to the sea, the waves.
He still lives with the legacy of his own adolescence. He doesn't know the boy, but he knows the story. Pike's partner wonders why the boy killed himself.
Breath opens with Bruce Pike, now a paramedic, arriving too late to save a teenage boy's life.
