Summary
First published in 1901, this Australian classic recounts the live of 16-year-old Sybylla Melvyn. Trapped on her parents' outback farm, she simultaneously loves bush life and hates the physical burdens it imposes. Whisked away to live on her grandmother's gracious property, she falls under the eye of the rich and handsome Harry Beecham. And soon she finds herself choosing between everything a conventional life offers and her own plans for a 'brilliant career'.

Beautiful use of language and poetry. Incredible descriptions of Australian landscape and life for early European settlers, especially women. Some racism which made me cringe but gives us a glimpse into the brutal reality of life near the turn of the 20th century. Narrator was quite good, some mispronunciations of Australian towns were slightly annoying.
