Dream Within a Dream

A new novel inspired by Joan Lindsay's enduring classic, Picnic at Hanging Rock.


A long forgotten picnic; a century of pain; one chance to return home.


In 1999, Claire Hammond's life was haunted by a series of cryptic dreams and visions. Her search for their meaning led her to a startling revelation about her past, and the discovery of a future over which she had no control.


In a story that spans more than a century, Dream Within a Dream details the ripples that were felt throughout time following an inexplicable disappearance of three students and their teacher on St. Valentine's Day 1900 at Hanging Rock, near Woodend, in Victoria.


With time, every mystery will give up its secret.
