Looking for Alibrandi - Chapter 7

Plot summary


Josie had to go over and sleep at nonna's. She was tell her how her life was hard when she got married and that she thought she was moving to America but then she found out that she was moving to Australia, a place that no one was familiar with.

Challenges faced by the Character(s)/information revealed about character(s)


It was hard for nonna to leave her family and move to a place she has never heard before with her husband. She found that Australia was very different to Italy and she wanted to go back.

Important Quotations


"If life was a silent movie I'd be able to see the captions under their faces." (pg 73)

Personal Response


I personally think that nonna had a really hard time adapting to the new society and she is a great wife because never thought of leaving her husband and going back to Italy.
