Recensioner
Picnic At Hanging Rock av Joan Lindsay
This is one of those books that leaves you wondering why you read it, and how can you get that time back again.
Breathtaking, cruel, weird. Unhinged omniscient narrator.
While it dragged for me a bit in the second act, there's no doubt that this is a true classic. While set in Edwardian Australia, the book also reads like an Edwardian novel. It's like E.M. Forster by way of Lovecraft.
