Set against the vast and often unforgiving landscape of Australia, the story bridges the gap between a struggling present and a complex colonial past.\n\nThe plot follows **Harry Brandon**, an aspiring painter who finds himself adrift in Sydney during the height of the 1930s Great Depression. Desperate for a sense of direction and identity, Harry begins to unravel the mystery of his mother’s history—specifically the family she abandoned at eighteen and the secrets she has kept for decades. As he delves into his heritage, the novel explores the broader Australian experience through the eyes of those cast out by society, weaving a tale of displacement, survival, and the search for home across generations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48792212340955,"sku":"2026200004648-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/753e42b4-8fb4-4b86-9a08-16a90228d367.png?v=1779273562","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200004648-secondhand-the-exiles","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
