THE GETTING OF WISDOM: Henry Handel Richardson

THE GETTING OF WISDOM

by Henry Handel Richardson

I love this classic Australian story, which is about a country girl sent to boarding school in the bustling Melbourne of more than 100 years ago. She doesn’t quite fit in at school, but in the end, this doesn’t matter to her. The Getting of Wisdom is an early example of a coming-of-age novel, and you will love witnessing Laura learn about life and grow into a young adult.
