Publisher's Note
A stunning tale of the passion and tribalism of adolescence, "Cracks"--set in a South African boarding school for girls in the 1960s--is reminiscent of "Lord of the Flies" and "Picnic at Hanging Rock."

Industry Reviews
"[A] disturbing, note-perfect novel....Dissection of evil has rarely been so extravagantly executed."
Wiegand

"CRACKS is written with a real atmospheric nostalgia that conjures up the wildness of the veld, and the passion and drama of adolescence. This is a sustained piece of storytelling, an unusual and peculiarly satisfying novel."
Times Literary Supplement - Margaret Stead (03/30/2001)

"Female sex obsessions...propel the growing suspense in CRACKS..., an expertly creepy story...."
Chicago Tribune - Dick Adler (11/28/2000)
