Publisher's Synopsis

My Brilliant Career is a classic Australian novel written by Miles Franklin. It tells the story of a headstrong and independent young woman named Sybylla Melvyn, who is determined to follow her dreams of becoming a writer despite the expectations of her family and society. Set in rural Australia in the late 19th century, the novel explores themes of gender roles, class, and the struggle for self-determination. Sybylla's journey is one of self-discovery as she navigates her way through the challenges of love, family, and societal expectations.
