Just Relations, Rodney Hall's landmark 1982 novel and winner of the Miles Franklin Award, chronicles the collision between a forgotten world and the encroaching forces of modernity, weaving together the voices of its eccentric, deeply human characters into a rich tapestry of memory, myth, and resistance.\n\nHall's prose is lyrical and deeply rooted in the Australian landscape, conjuring a world where the land itself seems to breathe and conspire. His narrative style is poetic and expansive, drawing on the oral traditions of storytelling to illuminate the broader themes of cultural identity, the passage of time, and the cost of progress. Just Relations stands as a cornerstone of Australian literature — a novel that asks, with haunting urgency, what is lost when a community refuses to let go of the world it once knew.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49269353840859,"sku":"2026200016989-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/d0f9b616-73ad-4264-ba2d-a59d6029e93f.png?v=1788999272","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200016989-secondhand-just-relations","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
