A review by fancyfroggie
Picnic at Hanging Rock by Joan Lindsay

slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

so, i read this book for school. there are definitely some elements about it that haven't aged well. joan lindsay definitely had some internalised misogyny when writing this book. a large criticism of it is that i think mike and albert should have ended up together, they are clearly gay for each other. also i found the ending very underwhelming and i feel rather unsatisfied after finishing it
