When sixteen-year-old Yin Mitchell is abducted, the news reverberates through the whole Year Ten class at Balmoral Ladies College. As the hours tick by, the girls know the chance of Yin being found alive is becoming smaller and smaller. Everyone is affected by Yin' s disappearance-even scholarship student Chloe, who usually stays out of Balmoral dramas, is drawn into the maelstrom. And when she begins to form an uneasy alliance with Natalia, the queen of Year Ten, things get even more complicated. A tribute to friendship in all its guises, The Gaps is a moving examination of vulnerability and strength, safety and danger, and the particular uncertainties young women face in the world.
' 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 * ' A powerful, compelling read about the fragility, resilience and fierceness of girlhood. Unputdownable. ' * Lili Wilkinson * ' A creeping psychological thriller about loss and fear and guilt and the fractured relationships that are left behind. Brilliant. ' * Robert Newton * ' Hall' s writing is breathtakingly good. The Gaps is a lightning bolt of a novel about power, privilege, race, art and identity. ' * Nina Kenwood *
