The first novel written about the enigmatic literary legend

Australia, 1901. Miles Franklin, the young daughter of poor bush farmers, manages to publish her first novel against all odds. A work of remarkable boldness and passion, it becomes an immense success in the English-speaking world. While she strives to maintain her anonymity under a male pseudonym, her identity is revealed and she is exposed to the misogynistic prejudices of her time.

Alone and penniless, she sets sail for America where a life of service to the most vulnerable, and feminist causes awaits her. She forges countless friendships, experiences magnificent loves, and, through it all, nurtures her passion for writing and her ambition for literary success.

Guided by her generosity and sense of humour, she embarks on numerous adventures across Europe before returning to her homeland. There, she will deliver a final blow to the critics who proclaimed that her wit and her genius had dried up.
