My Brilliant Career




This is a semi-autobiography about a charismatic girl who rejects all the suitors that come her way and loves independence.  However, she falls for a guy Harold and you as a reader like him too much but you know that this gets in the way of her spirit.  When this book was published it was a scandal in Australia.  Franklin wouldn’t have it published again until a decade after her death.  It’s a feminist classic and I recommend the movie as well.  Miles Franklin had other men in her life but she never married.  She continued writing as well.  I need to read the sequel.
