Josephine Alibrandy-Character

i chose Josephine Alibrandy as my favorite character, because she's a very absorbing, intriguing, young teenager.
she's the narrator of the story. She relates events as if they are happening now, and she speaks directly to the reader. She presenters herself as misunderstood and dissatisfied in the beginning of the novel. Her 'many problems' have accumulated in her head over the years and involves her hatred of being illegitimate, he hatred of Nonna, her frustrations with living in a Sicilian culture that has 'ridiculous rules and restrictions', and 'being stuck at a school dominated by rich people'. She believes that no-one understands her and that in her family she has 'had it worst'. Josie has become a self-centered and melodramatic adolescent who her friend Lee calls a 'snob'; who Nonna says is 'with out respect'; who Christina calls 'selfish and unreasonable'; and who Jacob describes as having ' the biggest mouth in Sydney'. This is our heroine. She is far from perfect, but she admits that herself, and the readers perceptions of Josie are influenced by the way she reveals herself to us.she goes on discovering who her father is, and why he didn't wanted her in the first place. Michael Andriette,(Josephine father) has come to really get to know what he left behind and start all over again.
