Publisher's Synopsis
Multi-award-winning, a bestseller and made into an award-winning feature film, Looking for Alibrandi has become a modern classic. I'm beginning to realise that things don't turn out the way you want them to. And sometimes when they don't, they can turn out just a little bit better. Melina Marchetta's stunning debut novel Looking for Alibrandi is one girl's story of her final year at school, a year she sets herself free. Josephine Alibrandi is seventeen and in her final year at a wealthy girls' school. This is the year she meets her father, the year she falls in love, the year she searches for Alibrandi and finds the real truth about her family - and the identity she has been searching for. A moving and revealing book, unusual for its honesty and its insight into the life of a young person on the brink of adulthood. This special deluxe hardback edition includes an exclusive introduction by the author and colour illustrated section that contains facsimiles of the original edited manuscript, photographs, reviews and articles.
