Breath

by Tim Winton

The coastal town of Sawyer provides the backdrop for 'Breath', a visceral exploration of adolescence, friendship, and the magnetic lure of the ocean. Here, young Bruce Pike, known as Pikelet, defies his protective parents to embrace the waves alongside his wild friend Loonie. Under the dangerous wing of Sando, a seasoned surfer, they push their limits amidst the sea’s thrilling terror, testing their endurance and youth. As they flirt with death and chase extraordinary experiences, they encounter both the rush of living on the edge and the profound impact of their intrepid choices. But when the thrills fade, Pikelet must grapple with the lasting imprints of a bold and reckless youth. 'Breath' by Tim Winton is an intoxicating ride through the high stakes of adolescence where every breath holds the weight of potential and consequence.
