Published almost 50 years ago, Lindsay’s historical novel was written over a four week period and has been subject to much dispute over whether the content is based on real life a myth Lindsay did little to dispel.
However, with my BBC Big Read challenge still looming large ahead of my thirtieth birthday back in February, Picnic at Hanging Rock fell very much to the wayside and with almost eleven months in Sydney under my belt, I’ve only just got around to reading it. With the exception of Colleen McCullough‘s The Thorn Birds I was yet to read any Australian literature, and was keen to do so before my adventures down under began. It was shortly before I moved to Australia that I added Picnic at Hanging Rock to my reading wish list.
