In 1944 the Lambs and the Pickles suffer separate devastating tragedies and decide that in order to start over they must leave their rural West Australian homes. They both find shared accommodation in suburban Perth at 1 Cloud Street and over the next 20 years their dysfunction gives rise to loyalty and acceptance in the midst of their differences. “Cloudstreet” has been adapted for the stage, an opera, and this recommended television miniseries, and won the 1992 Miles Franklin Award.
