Product Description

• First published in 1901, this Australian classic is the candid tale of the aspirations and frustrations of sixteen-year-old Sybylla Melvin, a headstrong country girl constrained by middle-class social arrangements, especially the pressure to marry.
• Trapped on her parents' outback farm, Sybylla simultaneously loves bush life and hates the physical burdens it imposes.
• She longs for a more refined lifestyle - to read, to think, to sing - but most of all to do great things.
• Suddenly her life is transformed when she is whisked away to live on her grandmother's gracious property. There Sybylla falls under the eye of the rich and handsome Harry Beecham.
• Soon she finds herself choosing between everything a conventional life offers and her own plans for a 'brilliant career'.
