Why read it?
1 author picked Still as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love a tense, character-driven thriller, and this one was set in a remote town I’ve visited.
I love that the book is set in 1963, a decade that had particular significance for Australian women, their roles, and the expectations placed upon them.
It’s not fast-moving, but the setting is an almost palpable character in its own right. I found it dark, rife with corruption, violence, oppressive heat, and both the best and the worst of what Australia has to offer.
From Laney's list on traveling australian outback from home.
