My Brilliant Career [Paperback] Franklin Miles

**My Brilliant Career** - the feisty Australian classic that'll make you want to chuck everything and become a writer (or at least move to the bush). Sybylla Melvyn is sixteen, stubborn, and absolutely refuses to settle for the boring life everyone expects her to have. Set in 1890s rural Australia, this coming-of-age novel follows our spirited heroine as she rejects marriage proposals, dreams of literary fame, and generally causes a delightful ruckus.

Miles Franklin wrote this semi-autobiographical gem when she was just twenty-one, practically launching Australian women's literature with one brilliant swoop. Perfect for fans of Anne of Green Gables who want more rebellion, bookish teens tired of being told to "be realistic," and anyone who loves stories about women refusing to stay in their lane.

This preloved paperback from Patina Paperbacks has character - just like Sybylla herself.

"Sybylla's voice jumps off every page - she's hilarious and heartbreaking." - Sarah K.

"Finally, a heroine who says exactly what she thinks!" - Emma T.
