Overview

By the author of The Hummingbird Effect and The Mother Fault Kate and Harriet are best friends, growing up together on an isolated Australian cape in the 1880s. As daughters of the lighthouse keepers, the two girls share everything until a fisherman, McPhail, arrives in their small community. When Kate witnesses the desire that flares between him and Harriet, she is torn by her feelings of envy and longing. But one moment in McPhail's hut will change the course of their lives forever. Inspired by a true story, Skylarking is a stunning debut novel about friendship, love and loss, one that questions what it is to remember and how tempting it can be to forget. 'Skylarking is a strikingly real and deeply moving meditation on adolescent friendship in all its complexities - a heart-wrenching work.' -Olga Lorenzo 'This impressive novel takes an historical case and re-imagines it with such sensitivity and insight that we feel this must be how it truly happened.' -Emily Bitto 'A brave, beautiful and richly textured book that delicately explores the fault lines in love and friendship.' -Lucy Treloar
