Picnic at Hanging Rock by Joan LindsayMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A haunting tale of three girls (and their teacher) who go missing on Hanging Rock after a school trip to the site.
The reason for their disapperance is famously never explained - there's just the merest suggestion of them being supernaturally called away - giving it a sense of otherworldiness. But, the impact that their disapperance has the community is actually pretty realistic. Things fall apart, bonds are broken, and some (rather sweetly) are made.
Overall, an odd book that's hard to describe. May have to pitch it to my book group as definitely one that could spark a lot of discussion,
