| A vivid desert odyssey; the falling woman travels through a haunting landscape of memory, myth and mental maps. Told in three voices â Stella, Estella and Estelle â this is an inspiring story drawn from childhood memories, imagined worlds and the pressing realities of daily life. The Falling Woman charts one womanâ s journey into the heartland. It is a journey taken across the desert, into the heart of memory, and into the mythic heart, that place to which we return in times of crisis. |

"It's the extraordinary breadth and depth of ideas that Hawthorne asks her readers to engage with her in The Falling Woman that, in many ways, makes this quite a remarkable novel. We begin to build a picture of a great alternative thinker." -- Diane Brown, JAS Review.
"Although she is working with complicated philosophical themes, her use of language is poetic and crystal clear." -- Beryl Fletcher.
