Woman of the Inner Sea follows Kate Gaffney-Kozinski, a privileged Sydney socialite whose world is shattered by an unspeakable personal tragedy, driving her to abandon her comfortable existence and vanish into the vast, unforgiving Australian interior. Travelling by rail and instinct, she finds refuge in a remote outback town, taking work in a rough-and-tumble pub where the rhythms of survival slowly begin to replace the rhythms of grief — all while the past she is running from refuses to stay buried.\n\nThomas Keneally, the Booker Prize-winning author of Schindler's Ark, brings his trademark moral authority and lyrical precision to this haunting meditation on guilt, reinvention, and the redemptive power of landscape. The Australian continent itself becomes a character — ancient, indifferent, and oddly merciful — as Keneally chronicles one woman's journey from devastation toward an uncertain, hard-won grace. Darkly comedic in places yet profoundly moving throughout, this novel stands as a testament to Keneally's mastery of the human condition, leaving the reader to wonder whether Kate's flight is, in truth, a homecoming.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49336817451227,"sku":"2026200016494-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/64cec9c6-54ce-4825-a98f-6724653b6ef9.png?v=1789958767","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016494-secondhand-woman-of-the-inner-sea","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
