Rodney Hall chronicles the arrival of an outsider who disrupts the town's fragile, time-worn equilibrium, forcing its residents to confront the myths and memories that have sustained them. Written with lyrical intensity and dark humour, the novel presents a profound meditation on identity, community, and the Australian national character. Hall's prose is both poetic and unsettling, drawing readers into a world where the past and present collide with powerful, often haunting consequences. Winner of the Miles Franklin Award in 1982, Just Relations stands as one of the most celebrated and ambitious works in Australian literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956366782683,"sku":"2026200008575-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/218155dd-cd96-4d5c-bee1-11578e25901d.png?v=1783500330","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008575-secondhand-just-relations","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
