About the book

My Brilliant Career by Miles Franklin is a classic novel for adult readers.

The beloved Australian classic, published in a stunning Penguin Clothbound Classics edition for the first time 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.
