Title: Winter Close
Author: Hugh Mackay

Format: Unabridged
Length: 7 hrs and 43 mins
Language: English
Release date: 11-21-12
Publisher: Bolinda Publishing Pty Ltd
Genres: Fiction, Contemporary
Publisher's Summary:
For Tom, a counsellor struggling to rebuild his emotional life after the breakdown of his marriage, the suburbs are his world. His neighbours in Winter Close are his 'people', a kind of twenty-first century tribe. Tom, however, has a weakness for jumping to dramatic conclusions about his neighbours' relationships with each other and with him. Although he's often wrong, the truth is even more engrossing than his fantasies.
When a freak storm hits Winter Close, more is destroyed than trees and houses. Personal façades are demolished as well, exposing tensions and releasing repressed emotions that draw Tom and all his neighbours into a painful series of confrontations and reassessments.
Members Reviews:
A Novel way of approaching social statistics
Can't help feeling that Mackay's characters in the Close signify a too neat representation of Australia's diverse ethnic, economic and gender diversity a little too accurately. What you rightly expect from this author. Maybe it comes across as a little too contrived.
