A work of Australian fiction by the celebrated author of The Shiralee, Call Me When the Cross Turns Over chronicles the lives of ordinary people navigating hardship, love, and resilience across the rugged Australian landscape. D'Arcy Niland brings his signature warmth and gritty realism to bear, presenting characters who are deeply human in their struggles and triumphs, rendered with the kind of compassionate authenticity that defined his literary career. The narrative unfolds with a quiet, understated power, illustrating how fate, chance, and human connection intersect in ways both tender and heartbreaking. Niland's prose is earthy and evocative, grounding readers in a distinctly Australian world where survival demands both toughness and grace. This is a moving and richly textured work from one of Australia's most beloved mid-twentieth-century storytellers.
