<i>'And what's this about you and your friends driving around Bondi Junction half-dressed last week?'</i> <i>'Who told you that?'</i> <i>'Signora Formosa saw you. She said you and your friends almost ran her over. She rang Zia Patrizia's next-door neighborhood and it got back to Nonna.'</i> <i>Telecom would go broke if it weren't for the Italians.</i> Josephine Alibrandi is seventeen, illegitimate, and in her final year at a wealthy Catholic school. This is the year her father comes back into her life, the year she falls in love, the year she discovers the secrets of her family's past and the year she sets herself free. <i>I'll run one day. Run from my life. To be free and think for myself. Not as an Australia and not as an Italian and not as an in between. I'll run to be emancipated.</i>
