Girl Falling by Hayley Scrivenor 2
Finn and her best friend, Daphne, have grown up together in the Blue Mountains. They've always had a close - sometimes too close - friendship. Now in their twenties, Daphne is at university and Finn is working in the Mountains and falling in love with a beautiful newcomer called Magdu. One fateful day, Finn, Daphne and Magdu go rock-climbing - and Magdu falls to her death. Is it suicide, a terrible accident - or something more sinister? Bold, dramatic and utterly compelling, Girl Falling forces us to confront the stories we tell ourselves about the people we love. Displaying all of Hayley Scrivenor's razor-sharp skills for character, landscape and narrative, this is a breathtaking read.
