D'Arcy Niland chronicles the lives of ordinary men and women caught in the harsh realities of mid-twentieth-century Australia, weaving a narrative charged with grit, longing, and an unmistakable sense of place that only a writer intimately acquainted with the bush could render so vividly.\n\nNiland, celebrated for his landmark novel The Shiralee, brings the same unflinching authenticity and lyrical precision to this work, presenting characters who are rough-hewn yet deeply human, shaped by landscape as much as by circumstance. His prose carries a distinctly Australian cadence — spare, muscular, and quietly poetic — that draws readers into a world where camaraderie and solitude exist side by side. For those who prize storytelling rooted in place and peopled with characters who endure against all odds, this is a novel that will linger long after the final page.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49336813486299,"sku":"2026100008855-SECONDHAND","price":50.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c407cc8e-134f-4ee4-b0e3-cf19bab37cd4.png?v=1789958544","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008855-secondhand-call-me-when-the-cross-turns-over","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
