Picnic At Hanging Rock (Joan Lindsay) - Book Review
from Mere Mortals Book Reviews · host Kyrin Down & Juan Granados
So have you solved the mystery of what actually happened at Hanging Rock?'Picnic At Hanging Rock' by Joan Lindsay is a fictional mystery that actually occurs at a real place. We follow the ladies from an Australian boarding school as their ideal day takes a tragic turn for the worse. The book is notable for it's rapid character switching and detailed descriptions of the scenery and unfolding events.I summarised the book as follows. "I was slightly hesitant at first but this book surprised me. It depicts the Aussie way of life with beautiful imagery of the landscape and deceptiveness of everyday mundane interactions all couched in that air of unfolding mystery. From start to finish it will keep you guessing whether it was an explainable tragedy, sinister actions of an unknown party or perhaps even malevolent forces at work."As always, I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world.
