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.\n\nThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48820230652123,"sku":"2026200006392-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/011369e9-286d-43fa-926e-260c650afb33.png?v=1780054813","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006392-secondhand-wherever-we-step-the-land-is-mined","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
