Nikki Gemmell: Wing

Four schoolgirls and a teacher wander into the bush but only the girls come out in this contemporary feminist descendant of the classic Picnic at Hanging Rock.

International bestselling novelist Nikki Gemmell has spent decades writing about womanhood and women’s experiences of sex, desire and identity, including her hit The Bride Stripped Bare. This thriller, narrated over four days by a school principal struggling with the complexities of her own life, explores the cracks in the relationships between mothers and daughters, older and younger generations and men and women.

Venture into murky territory and spiky relationships with Nikki and host writer and broadcaster Sarah Macdonald.
