“I'll run one day. Run for my life. To be free and think for myself. Not as an Australian and not as an Italian and not as an in-between. I’ll run to be emancipated. If my society will let me.”

This novel is about as old as I am, and yet it feels timeless. I read this in high school, but loved it, and the film, prior to that. This is a coming of age story about finding your identity and developing your core beliefs and values. A classic Australian staple. I will always recommend this one.
