Some you have to write yourself.  When 23-year-old Pip Newling arrived in the remote West Australian town of Halls Creek, the locals gave her 24 hours - tops - before she'd be back on the bus to Sydney. But Pip stayed - and as she served beers, shared jokes and swapped stories with the townspeople, she discovered a side of Australia most of us never get to see. From the tragic to the sublime to the downright ridiculous, KNOCKABOUt GIRL is a compelling, confronting journey into a heart of ribald darkness. Quick-witted and always ready with a grin, Pip takes us beyond the stereotypes with humour and compassion. We meet Sunny, Pip's exuberant partner in crime, and Jean-Paul, the fabulous French hairdresser whose dry sardonic wit matches the dfyness of the desert. there's Harry, the Shakespeare-quoting prospector, and Eric, the local playboy with a disturbing history. throw in a riot, a rodeo and a couple of road-tripping nuns and you're starting to get the picture...","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50534136021211,"sku":"9780732283261-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/dd28731e-f5a3-46e4-83b9-6f043740ca02.jpg?v=1790691858","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9780732283261-secondhand-knockabout-girl-a-memoir","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
