The Falling Woman
Susan Hawthorne

A vivid desert odyssey; the falling woman travels through a haunting landscape of memory, myth and mental maps. Told in three voices – Stella, Estella and Estelle – this is an inspiring story drawn from childhood memories, imagined worlds and the pressing realities of daily life.

The Falling Woman charts one woman’s journey into the heartland. It is a journey taken across the desert, into the heart of memory, and into the mythic heart, that place to which we return in times of crisis.

Write a review.
'It is a strange book to begin with until you get into the pattern of “now” and “yesteryear” as it is told both in the present and flashback style. It is strangely compelling.' Jan Jackson, Search SA

‘It’s the extraordinary breadth and depth of ideas that Hawthorne asks her readers to engage with her in The Falling Woman that, in many ways, makes this quite a remarkable novel. We begin to build a picture of a great alternative thinker.'

Diane Brown, JAS Review

‘This is a beautiful book, written with powerful insight and captivating originality.’ 

Julia Hancock, LOTL
