It's been ages since I read The Wind Boy so I don't remember the specifics of her theory of art, but I do remember that it was a weird, weird book, and fully confident in its own weirdness. Love that for you, Ethel Cook Eliot! Not 100% sure I'm sure that I understand everything she's getting at, but perhaps that's not the point.
I also knew going into Picnic at Hanging Rock that it wouldn't solve the mystery, and still found the lack of resolution to the mystery tantalizingly tormenting, which of course is one of the reasons that the book has stuck with me so long. And yes there IS a slashy cross-class friendship between two male characters, which was nice although I was also slightly put out because I'd gone into it hoping to ship some of the girls! No luck in that department, though.
