No Roads Go By chronicles the remarkable life of Myrtle Rose White, a woman who carved out an existence in the remote, roadless interior of Australia, confronting isolation, hardship, and the raw, untamed beauty of a landscape indifferent to human frailty. With illustrations by Elizabeth Daroch bringing the wilderness to life on the page, this is a work of extraordinary personal testimony that reads as both adventure and meditation.\n\nWhite's prose is unadorned yet deeply affecting, presenting the outback not as a hostile void but as a living, breathing presence with its own rhythms and demands. Her narrative sits within a proud tradition of Australian frontier literature, yet it carries a distinctly feminine authority — a quiet insistence that endurance and wonder are not mutually exclusive. For readers who have ever felt the pull of the unknown horizon, this account of a life lived beyond the map will linger long after the final page is turned.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49342780670171,"sku":"2026200016081-SECONDHAND","price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/36857521-5dc4-42c3-bd40-d46ebe69429c.png?v=1790049425","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016081-secondhand-no-roads-go-by","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
