That was the pilot’s last communication with ground control, for radio contact was suddenly lost. Christmas, 1971, is a time which Juliane Koepcke, one of the passengers on board flight 508, will never forget.

This apparently simple fact is the starting point for Tim Winton's beautiful, evocative and sometimes provocative memoir of how this unique landscape has shaped him and his writing.
