Picnic at Hanging Rock - Joan Lindsay

Most people, in Australia especially, know this book because of the film, but I found it a fascinating read in its own right. In particular, the first 70 or so pages are spectacularly good before the story loses a bit of focus.

Much of the detail seemed to be cribbed from the even better novel The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.
