- Summary:
-
"In the Aboriginal missions of far northern Australia, it was a battle between saving souls and saving traditional culture." "Every Secret Thing is a rough, tough, hilarious portrayal of the Bush Mob and the Mission Mob, and the hapless clergy trying to convert them. In these tales, everyone is fair game." "At once playful and sharp, Marie Munkara's wonderfully original stories cast a taunting new light on the mission era in Australia."--Back cover.
