Robin Maugham constructs a deeply unsettling narrative that uncovers the dangerous intersection of desire, power, and self-deception, set against the morally ambiguous backdrop of 1960s North Africa. The novel presents its characters with unflinching honesty, illustrating how loneliness and suppression can drive individuals toward choices with devastating consequences. Written with the cool, precise tension that defined Maugham's best work, the story forces readers to confront uncomfortable truths about human vulnerability and the exploitation that preys upon it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48820231274715,"sku":"2026200006395-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/85204941-b0f2-4ab0-9c66-11f549de6584.png?v=1780054842","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006395-secondhand-the-wrong-people","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
