To read this book is a total immersion experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince it was first acquired in a hot auction, Darren Williams’ novel has attracted comparisons – Picnic at Hanging Rock, To Kill a Mockingbird, Stand By Me, to name but a few (and no coincidence that all three have been made into major movies, because Angel Rock is a feast for all the senses) – but it is also a completely unique and original novel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe setting is Australia, 1969. Two half-brothers get lost in the wild wooded countryside around the small town of Angel Rock. Only the eldest, 13-year-old Tom, finds his way home. At about the same time, a 16-year-old girl goes missing from the town and is found in Sydney. She has killed herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe policeman who gets the case in the city follows the trail back to Angel Rock. In searching for a meaning in this tragic death, he is searching for nothing less than a meaning in his own troubled life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tales of the policeman, Gibson, and the boy, Tom, converge in the mystical back-country of Angel Rock, in a story that is part coming-of-age, part detective thriller, of redemption both individual and communal, and altogether one story that you will never forget.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Darren Williams","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46895231336597,"sku":"9780007128471","price":21.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9780007128471_76ca81a8-055f-432d-a964-75f585e6e596.jpg?v=1776888470","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9780007128471_angel-rock","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
