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. For Sybylla longs for a more refined, aesthetic
lifestyle -- to read, to think, to sing -- but most of all to do
great things. Suddenly her life is transformed. 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'.
