‘Epic, compelling and moving. A classic Australian saga centred around a farm house and its native garden in northern New South Wales, rich in wildlife and memories. Secrets illustrates the ways trauma is passed on from generation to generation, but also the power of truth, and the strength of women, love and family.’

Inga Simpson, author of The Thinning

‘Judi Morison’s moving and confronting story of racism, misogyny and ignorance is based on a shameful history stretching over six decades. While the narrative of Secrets is propelled by intergenerational trauma, its focus is always on the broader picture, one that involves truth-telling and healing. This is a beautifully structured novel revealing the strength of women’s resilience, the importance of tending to one’s family and land, and how one might find a way to quiet optimism.’

Dr Debra Adelaide, author of The Household Guide to Dying

‘Exploring trauma and addiction, Secrets is an unflinching account of what can happen when we care for others and let our true selves be seen. Judi Morison’s debut novel is at once a testament to how far we’ve come in this country, and in the same breath, a searing indictment of just how far there is yet to go. An instant Australian classic.’

Hayley Scrivenor, internationally bestselling author of Dirt Town and Girl Falling.
