Internally sound. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sweeping work of Australian historical fiction, Storm of Time chronicles the turbulent early years of the New South Wales colony in the early nineteenth century, weaving together the lives of convicts, soldiers, free settlers, and Indigenous Australians against a backdrop of political upheaval and human struggle. Eleanor Dark constructs a richly layered narrative that captures the brutal realities of colonial life, from the power struggles among the ruling class to the quiet resilience of those forced to the margins of society. The novel, the second in Dark's celebrated The Timeless Land trilogy, presents the Rum Rebellion of 1808 as a pivotal moment that lays bare the corruption, ambition, and moral contradictions at the heart of the fledgling colony. Written with both literary elegance and unflinching historical honesty, Dark illustrates how the land itself — ancient, indifferent, and enduring — stands in stark contrast to the fleeting dramas of its new inhabitants. This is a profound and ambitious work that remains one of the great achievements of Australian literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48755502285019,"sku":"2026600000622-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/a26f89a9-23c4-4bfc-91d4-2a86bfbdbda2.png?v=1778221234","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026600000622-secondhand-storm-of-time","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
