Description - Looking for Alibrandi by Melina Marchetta

A deluxe hardback edition celebrating the 30th anniversary of the multi-award-winning and bestselling YA classic beloved by so many.

Multi-award-winning, a bestseller and made into an award-winning feature film, Looking for Alibrandi has become a much-loved modern classic.

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.

Josephine Alibrandi is seventeen and in her final year at a wealthy girls' school. This is the year she meets her father, the year she falls in love, the year she finds the real truth about her family - and the identity she has been searching for. The year she sets herself free. Multi-award-winning and a bestselling modern classic beloved by so many, Looking for Alibrandi will stay with you always.

This special deluxe hardback edition contains an exclusive preface by the author, as well as photographs, letters, reviews, articles and mementoes from the time of its first publication and reception, and extracts from the original edited MS and Melina's correspondence with her editor and publisher.
