Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

The Getting of Wisdom is a novel by Australian author Henry Handel Richardson. The story follows the life of a young girl named Laura Rambotham, who is sent to a prestigious boarding school in Melbourne, Australia. Laura is a bright and ambitious student, but struggles to fit in with her wealthy and entitled classmates. She is often bullied and ostracized, but remains determined to succeed academically and socially. As Laura navigates the challenges of adolescence, she must also confront her own naivete and learn to navigate the complex social dynamics of her school. The Getting of Wisdom is a coming-of-age story that explores themes of class, gender, and identity, and offers a vivid portrait of life in turn-of-the-century Australia.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
