1. Australian Gospel
Politics, Religion, and the Search for Meaning in the Lucky Country
"Australian Gospel" by Lech Blaine is a darkly comedic tale that explores the complex lives of two very different families in Australia. Michael and Mary Shelley are devout Christians who disapprove of the lifestyle of their fellow Australians. On the other hand, Lenore and Tom Blaine are lively publicans from Queensland, raising a large family in a home filled with love and a passion for rugby league. The story takes a dramatic turn as the Blaines become foster parents to three of the Shelleys' children, who were taken from their biological parents at a young age. The Shelleys are determined to reclaim their children, setting the stage for a gripping family saga filled with humor and heartache.
