The spin number in The Classics Club Spin is number …
which for me is Picnic at Hanging Rock by Joan Lindsay. The rules of the Spin are that this is the book for me to read by 12 December, 2021.
I am delighted as this just the book I wanted to read next! It was one of my 20 books of Summer, but I didn’t get round to reading it then.
It was a cloudless summer day in the year nineteen hundred.
Everyone at Appleyard College for Young Ladies agreed it was just right for a picnic at Hanging Rock. After lunch, a group of three of the girls climbed into the blaze of the afternoon sun, pressing on through the scrub into the shadows of Hanging Rock. Further, higher, till at last they disappeared.
They never returned.
Whether Picnic at Hanging Rock is fact or fiction the reader must decide for themselves. (Goodreads)

Oh, that’s a really eerie story, Margaret! At least I think it is. I hope you’ll enjoy reading it.

Great choice, reminding I have this languishing on the shelf too. I’m not in the classics club but I am reading a modern classic at the moment, Hour of the Star by Clarice Lispector, a first read of this Ukranian/Brazilian author for me.

I finally read this not too long ago, and thought it so good. Creepy and intriguing and exotic all at the same time!

I hope you enjoy it and I was pleased to see that I wasn’t the only one who didn’t finish all their summer reading!
