THREE WOMEN. TWO SECRETS. ONE BODY. The highly anticipated new novel by the award-winning author of Dirt Town, international crime-writing sensation Hayley Scrivenor.
Best friends Finn and Daphne have always had a close bond, inseparable as children growing up together in a small Blue Mountains town. Now, in their early twenties, their lives are naturally becoming more independent, with Daphne at university and Finn working in the Mountains. Finn is also falling in love with a beautiful newcomer named Magdu. Unused to having to share Finn, Daphne acts out. One day Finn, Daphne and Magdu go mountain climbing, and Magdu falls to her death. An accident, self-harm – or something far more sinister?
Bold, dramatic and utterly compelling, Girl Falling demonstrates Hayley's razor-sharp skills in writing character, landscape and narrative. A truly breathtaking read, Girl Falling is not to be missed.
In 2023 Hayley Scrivenor cemented her status as Australia’s best new writer, taking home the coveted ABIA General Fiction Book of the Year for Dirt Town - no small feat for a debut author. Dirt Town was 2022’s highest selling Australian debut novel of the year.
