This is not a romance-I have too often faced the music of life to the tune of hardship to waste time in snivelling and gushing over fancies and dreams; neither is it a novel, but simply a yarn-a real yarn. Oh! Written with all the high spirits of youth, My Brilliant Career is the... unforgettable tale of Sybylla Melvin, a headstrong country girl-passionate, endearing, stubborn, honest-and her fraught journey from rags to riches to rags. www.textclassics.com.au

NZ Review |
'The book is true to Australia-the truest I ever read.' -- Henry Lawson 'Franklin shines an intense light not only into the deep recesses of a bright young mind but on the dark corners of inequality caused by the rope of class distinction . Indeed, the author is most searingly brilliant when depicting those who poignantly fail to achieve brilliance.' Guardian |
