Wowee. That really was unlike anything I've ever read. I read the illustrated edition - the illustrations aren't directly connected to the story, but help create the atmosphere for the general historical setting. This was truly bizarre and mind-bending and really really intriguing.

Chilling and intelligently written. Very suspenseful and enjoyable.
A haunting tale of three girls (and their teacher) who go missing on Hanging Rock after a school trip to the site.
The reason for their disapperance is famously never explained - there's just the merest suggestion of them being supernaturally called away - giving it a sense of otherworldiness. But, the impact that their disapperance has the community is actually pretty realistic. Things fall apart, bonds are broken, and some (rather sweetly) are made.
Overall, an odd book that's hard to describe. May have to pitch it to my book group as definitely one that could spark a lot of discussion,

Not really my kind of book. Mysterious, interesting, but by the end I was underwhelmed. Maybe I’m just not intelligent enough for a book such as this.
I enjoyed the vibes but the plot wasn't exactly what I expected so i felt let down most of the book. I really enjoyed the unfinished ending because it leaves possibilities for speculation
