My Brilliant Career

Sarah Escorsa

The book is very well-written and I found it interesting because it depicts life in the Australian outback. Still, I had a hard time with Sybylla's character and didn't find her likeable at all. I found her to be extremely self-centered and somewhat obsessive, and I don't think she really knew what she wanted after all.
