A powerful, evocative exploration of personal boundaries, social structures, and systemic control, Wherever We Step The Land Is Mined is a compelling modern novel by acclaimed Australian author Natalie Scott. Published by the prestigious Jonathan Cape in London in 1980, this scarce hardback volume—complete with its original dust jacket—stands as a brilliant example of late-20th-century Australian modern fiction and sharp social realism. The narrative delivers a deeply atmospheric, character-driven snapshot of its era, weaving a plot heavily centered on human relationship dynamics, politics, law, and institutional culture. With a title that serves as a striking metaphor for navigating a highly regulated and restrictive society, Scott masterfully balances emotional tension with sharp cultural critique. This vintage copy is preserved in good overall condition, featuring a good page state with a previous owner's mark inside, safely housed in a very good dust jacket that retains its authentic period character. It is a vital and highly desirable acquisition for collectors of classic Australian literature, 1980s first editions, and profound stories exploring the complexities of human society.
