Skylarking is a new classic of Australian story-telling. Two kindred spirits on the cusp of adulthood in a paradise of their own with change looming over them. Every innocent moment threatens to tear them apart. Kate is the ideal heroine and you’ll find it difficult not to fall in love with her. The author places her is a vivid microcosm of colonial life which is unavoidably and forgivably nostalgic.

Mildenhall’s debut is a beautiful coming-of-age novel and it’s made me very excited to see what else she has in stall for us.
