My Brilliant Career

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

A bold, unforgettable coming-of-age classic.

Sixteen-year-old Miles Franklin stunned the world with this fiery debut novel, introducing Sybylla Melvyn—a headstrong young woman who refuses to accept the life laid out for her. Surrounded by hardship in the Australian bush and pressured to marry, Sybylla dreams instead of freedom, creativity, and a brilliant career of her own.

With wit, satire, and unflinching honesty, Franklin paints a vivid picture of ambition, love, and defiance at the turn of the century. A trailblazing feminist classic, My Brilliant Career remains as fresh and inspiring today as when it first shocked readers in 1901.
