‘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
‘Hall’s writing is breathtakingly good.
The Gaps is a lightning bolt of a novel about
power, privilege, race, art and identity.’
NINA KENWOOD
‘A creeping psychological thriller about loss and
fear and guilt and the fractured relationships
that are left behind. Brilliant.’
