About the Book
In 2005, Chloe Higgins was seventeen years old. She and her mother, Rhonda, stayed home so that she could revise for her HSC exams while her two younger sisters, Carlie and Lisa, went skiing with their father. On the way back from their trip, their car veered off the highway, flipped on its side and burst into flames. Both her sisters were killed. Their father walked away from the accident with only minor physical injuries. This book is about what happened next.
The Girls is an excoriating memoir of loss, love and sexuality which recalls Kate Holden, Fiona Wright or Sarah Krasnostein.
