Josephine Alibrandi is seventeen, illegitimate, and in her final year at a wealthy catholic school called Saint Martha's in the eastern suburbs. The following year she plans to study for law.
"My biggest problem though, is being at a school dominated by rich people... Who I can't see having a problem with the world"
The chapter shows how she feels like an outsider because she is an illegitimate.
"My Mother was born here so as far as the Italians were concerned we weren't completely one of them. Yet because my grandparents were born in Italy, we aren't completely Australian"
