Margaret Henry presents a nuanced portrait of characters whose identities are deeply entwined with the houses they inhabit, using the domestic sphere as a lens through which wider tensions of class, belonging, and change are examined. Written with quiet intensity and understated wit, the novel illustrates the subtle power struggles and unspoken desires that simmer beneath the surface of respectable suburban or rural life. A compelling read for those drawn to character-driven narratives, it stands as a thoughtful study of place and the people who define it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956432318683,"sku":"2026100006238-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c4d65833-56ee-4f82-829b-3a53aae1fd53.png?v=1783500973","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100006238-secondhand-the-householders","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
