Hello Everyone
Book club at Colleen's 1840 Warburton Highway Woori Yallock.
The large lit up sign 'Yarra Valley Craft Retreat' will show you the driveway.
My Brilliant Career by Myles Franklin
#1 Is it obvious to you that it has been written by a girl and not a man.
#2 Do you think this book identifies strongly as 'Australian' as apposed to English literature.
#3 Would you class this story as more a story of romance or a story of the Australian bush as it
was in the early 1900's.
#4 Do you think Sybilla made the right choice given the limited opportunities for girls in her
time and place.
#5 Do you think Myles Franklin was a trail blazer of her time, considering there were few other
female writers of published works in the 19th and early 20th centry.
Myles Franklin never married and died at age 75 but her name lives on in literary circles with the Myles Franklin and Stella literary prizes.
