Patrick White's Booker Prize-winning masterwork presents a profound psychological portrait of a woman who exists on the margins of conventional society, navigating a world that has little place for her fierce inner life. Written with lyrical intensity and a modernist sensibility, the novel moves between three distinct narrative modes — memory, present reality, and a dreamlike hallucinatory state — illustrating the fragile boundary between sanity and madness. Widely regarded as one of the great novels of the twentieth century, it cements White's status as the defining voice of Australian literary fiction and a giant of world literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956204548315,"sku":"2026200011181-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/2314f199-1481-439c-9c67-56a9f69af321.png?v=1783499051","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011181-secondhand-the-aunts-story","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
