Roger McDonald crafts a richly layered narrative that traces the intersecting lives of characters shaped by the land, by history, and by the choices that define — and sometimes destroy — them. Written with the same lyrical intensity that distinguished McDonald's celebrated 1915, the novel presents a portrait of longing and resilience, rendered in prose that is both muscular and deeply evocative. The tone is contemplative yet urgent, drawing readers into a world where the personal and the historical are inextricably bound. Slipstream stands as a testament to McDonald's mastery of the Australian novel, confirming his place among the country's most important literary voices.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48810575003867,"sku":"2026200006756-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/a32193de-d92e-426e-acfe-ef20595f5a16.png?v=1779805480","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006756-secondhand-slipstream","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
