Eleanor Dark presents the Rum Rebellion of 1808 as its dramatic centerpiece, illustrating how the clash between Governor William Bligh and the powerful New South Wales Corps tore apart a fragile society still finding its footing on foreign soil. With rich, lyrical prose and a panoramic cast of characters, the novel argues that the foundations of a nation are built not by grand figures alone, but by the countless ordinary lives ground beneath the wheels of history. Dark's narrative is both intimate and epic in scope, uniting personal stories of survival, ambition, and loss with the broader forces shaping a continent. The second volume in the The Timeless Land trilogy, it stands as a landmark of Australian literature — ambitious, compassionate, and unflinching in its portrayal of colonial life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48755506086107,"sku":"2026200004897-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/3105e4ef-5df7-4bb1-9d0c-46123764d809.png?v=1778221321","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200004897-secondhand-storm-of-time","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
