Beskrivelse af My Brilliant Career
Miles Franklin's debut novel follows the vivacious and rebellious sixteen-year-old Sybylla Melvyn - closely modelled on Franklin herself - as she fights to break free of restrictive bush life. Growing up on her parents' outback farm, Sybylla is desperate to read, write, sing and achieve great things. Yet her aspirations for a 'brilliant career' are persistently thwarted, first by the arduous demands of rural family life, and later by the shackles of a proposed conventional marriage to the wealthy Harold Beecham. With only her brilliant, conflicted mind to guide her, Sybylla is forced to define a life on her own terms. My Brilliant Career is acclaimed for capturing the spirit of Australia at the turn of the twentieth century. The struggles of its fiery, precocious protagonist shine a light on both the emergent women's rights and suffrage movement during this period, and, more broadly, the intensity of the yearnings of youth.
