Publisher's Summary

Now a major television series starring Natalie Dormer (Game of Thrones) And Yael Stone (Orange Is the New Black).

A haunting and enigmatic tale that will keep you awake and wondering long after you've finished this classic mystery.

Everyone agreed that the day was just right for the picnic to Hanging Rock - a shimmering summer morning warm and still, with cicadas shrilling....

St Valentine’s Day, in the midst of the hot summer of 1900, a party of schoolgirls went on a picnic to Hanging Rock. Some were never to return....

In this Australian classic, the disappearance of three girls and a schoolteacher at Hanging Rock has captivated and intrigued audiences for generations. Jacqueline McKenzie’s interpretation of the best-selling novel captures all of the beauty of the Rock and illustrates the eerie sense of the unknown for which the story is legendary.

Australian classic

Great story, suspense and mystery. One that will have you thinking about it and what truly happened. The book really sets up the atmosphere of the Hanging Rock, and the mystery of the Australian bush. There's an interesting article from Sydney Morning Herald about it which is worth a read for the film production of the book.
