Cracks by Sheila Kohler

Forty years after the disappearance of a beautiful schoolgirl, thirteen members of her swimming team gather at their old boarding school for a reunion, and look back to the weeks leading to her disappearance. As teenage memories and emotions resurface, the women relive the horror of a long-buried secret. Now a major film directed by Jordan Scott and starring Eva Green, "Cracks" is a mesmerising and shocking story of teenage sexuality, longing and identity.
'Hauntingly good, delicious and darkWith sensuous shimmering imagery, Kohler tells a story of teenage tribalism, awash with dreamy eroticism ... the language is poetic, elegant and brilliantly visual' Elle 'Written with a real atmospheric nostalgia that conjures up the wildness of the veld, and the passion and drama of adolescence ... an unusual, and peculiarly satisfying novel' TLS 'Sultry and elegant, delicately decadent, it is permeated with heat and languor, and alive with complex currents of passion' Patrick McGrath 'Picnic at Hanging Rock meets Lord of the Flies' Scotland on Sunday
Sheila Kohler is the author of two previous novels, THE PERFECT PLACE and THE HOUSE ON R STREET, and a collection of short stories, MIRACLES IN AMERICA. From South Africa, she now lives in New York.
