In It's an Old Country, J.B. Priestley introduces us to Tom Adamson, a young Australian professor who travels to England in search of his long-lost father.\n\nAs Tom traverses the country, his quest becomes a vibrant and often critical examination of a nation in transition. Priestley uses Tom’s \"outsider\" perspective to observe the clash between traditional English values and the burgeoning, often gaudy modernity of the sixties. The novel masterfully weaves a personal mystery with sharp social commentary, exploring themes of identity, the weight of the past, and the search for belonging. With Priestley’s characteristic wit and keen eye for character, this story remains a compelling portrait of a mid-century society grappling with its own heritage and future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48750368522459,"sku":"2026200005205-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/09eda657-9e07-4408-9623-ef34d19c9855.png?v=1778095340","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200005205-secondhand-its-an-old-country","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
