kimswhims 's review for:
My Brilliant Career
by Miles Franklin
I hadn't read this one since I was at school and while I remembered it fondly I'd forgotten about the antiquated complicated language of the wealthy (or aspiringly wealthy) Australian squatters.
I still have a soft spot for 17 year old Sybilla and all her trials and tribulations of being a young lady of no means in rural Australia at the time.
It was great to listen to it on this audiobook narrated by Megan E Rees and follow along with my 1965 copy that I bought for $3 earlier this year at the bookfair before Covid19 did away with bookfairs. The 1965 edition held it's value and must have been sold after 1966 because it still has the $3 price tag from Angus & Robertson which no longer has physical bookstore and only sells online now.
Anyway the book has held it's value :D
