The Gaps

“Haunting and beautiful. At first it has the page-turning addictiveness of a thriller and then it evolves into a captivating exploration of grief, guilt and resilience in the face of fear and uncertainty. Hall’s characters are meticulously drawn, brave, fierce and vulnerable. A stunning achievement from an Australian treasure.” Wai Chim, author of The Surprising Power of a Good Dumpling; “A powerful, compelling read about the fragility, resilience and fierceness of girlhood. Unputdownable.” Lili Wilkinson, author of The Erasure Initiative; “Hall’s writing is breathtakingly good. The Gaps is a lightning bolt of a novel about power, privilege, race, art and identity.” Nina Kenwood, author of It Sounded Better in My Head
