Miss Franklin How Miles Franklin’s brilliant career began

  • Society of Women Writers NSW Winner, Biennial Book Award 2021

This is a story about Miles Franklin, one of Australia’s most celebrated writers – and what went before her brilliant career. Teenager Stella Miles Franklin has to work to help support her family. Stella is unhappy as a governess in the country and longs for the freedom and excitement of city life. But she meets a young orphan girl, Imp, who is almost as feisty as Stella herself, and who spurs the older girl to follow her dreams.
