"Alien abduction or a good old possession?" | Picnic at Hanging Rock by Joan Lindsay

We’re starting 2023 with an Australin classic (our first!) - Picnic at Hanging Rock by Joan Lindsay. First published in 1967, this novel has an intriguing premise: The year is 1900 and a group of students from an all girls boarding ventures to Hanging Rock for a cosy afternoon picnic. But the outing takes a dark turn when three students and a teacher vanish into thin air… We chat about the novel’s themes, its mystery/scifi elements, character dynamics, and try to get to the bottom of the myserious disappearance.
