Beginning in the 1860s with Cornelius Luce, a journalist who witnesses the violent dispossession of the Aboriginal people, the novel traces his descendants through the decades — through wars, social upheaval, and the relentless pulse of a nation struggling with its own conscience. Astley's narrative is unflinching in its portrayal of racism, colonial violence, and the quiet, devastating cost of simply bearing witness.\n\nThea Astley, one of Australia's most decorated and formidable literary voices, writes with a razor-sharp wit and fierce moral intelligence that sets her apart from her contemporaries. Her prose is dense with irony and luminous imagery, transforming a family saga into a scathing indictment of Australian myths and national identity. Awarded the Miles Franklin Award four times, Astley commands the page with the authority of a writer who refuses sentimentality — leaving the reader to wonder whether any generation of the Luces, or of Australia itself, will ever truly reckon with its past.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203180437723,"sku":"2026100009473-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8ca2431a-c90e-4fac-b8a9-a8b46c6ee8f5.png?v=1788145003","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100009473-secondhand-its-raining-in-mango","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
