Hayley Scrivenor: Girl Falling

From the award-winning author of Dirt Town comes the bold, dramatic and utterly compelling Girl Falling.

Finn and her best friend, Daphne, have grown up together in the Blue Mountains. Bonded by both having lost a younger sister to suicide, they've always had a close friendship. Now in their 20s, their lives have finally started to diverge: Daphne is at university and Finn is falling in love with a beautiful newcomer called Magdu. One fateful day, Finn, Daphne and Magdu all go rock-climbing – and Magdu falls to her death. Is it suicide, a terrible accident – or something more sinister?
