About Wing:

Four days, four girls, one teacher, what happened?

Four girls go missing in the bush on a school camp. A male teacher goes in to retrieve them. Days pass. Eventually the girls return, traumatised. But the male teacher does not. What happened? Who is guilty? Who isn’t?

Written from the perspective of the female school principal, friend of the male teacher and also godmother to one of the girls, Nikki explores the complicated terrain of feminism, female friendship aging.

‘Full of rage, joy and hope: I dare you to put it down’

Susan Johnson, author of Aphrodite’s Breath
