My Brilliant Career & My Career Goes Bung Author: Miles Franklin

ISBN: 9780732296919 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 464 Published: 1 March 2013 Country of Publication: AU Dimensions (cm): 19.8 x 12.8 x 3.0 Description: 'I am given to something which a man never pardons in a woman. You will draw away as though I were a snake when you hear.'

With this warning, Sybylla confesses to her rich and handsome suitor that she is given to writing stories and bound, therefore on a brilliant career. In this ironically titled and riotous first novel by Miles Franklin, originally published in 1901, Sybylla tells the story of growing up passionate and rebellious in rural NSW, where the most that girls could hope for was to marry or to teach.

Included in this edition is the sequel, My Career Goes Bung, which sees Sybilla amongst the literati in Sydney.
