I swear to god that if there is something I am going to escape in this life of rules and regulations it will be my dreaded rituals- text from Looking for Alibrandi by Melina Marchetta
Italian and Australian
In "Looking for Alibrandi," Carly upsets Josie by betraying her trust. She reveals personal information about Josie's family situation to others, which leads to embarrassment and feelings of vulnerability for Josie. This breach of confidence highlights the complexities of friendships and the challenges Josie faces as she navigates her identity and relationships.
Anger is the reaction that Josie Alibrandi has to the news of John Barton's death in 'Looking for Alibrandi'. John commits suicide. It's a shock to Josie, who sees John as leading a carefree, worry free existence. In fact, John's life seems so outwardly perfect that Josie wonders how anybody else stands a chance at happiness or success if the perfect person sees life as something to kill himself over.
The setting of the novel "Looking for Alibrandi" by Melina Marchetta is contemporary Australia, specifically in Sydney. The story takes place in the inner-city suburb of Glebe, where the protagonist, Josie Alibrandi, navigates issues of identity, family, and culture.
A central theme in Looking For Alibrandi is Josie's illigitemacy. You have to remember that this book was written 15 years ago, when illigitemacy was a lot less approved of than it is now. The characters incorporated into this theme would be Josie, her mother and her father. If you wanted to switch around, you could use Josie's Nonna instead of her mother or father. At the beginning of the book, Josie is really hung up about her illegitimacy, but towards the end, she realises that its not such a big deal. I hope this helps you!!
This is a book about love, learning about cultures and discovering family secrets.. It is rather interesting and this book is not a supernatural book about vampires (cough cough Twilight cough cough), faeries (cough cough Lament and Ballad cough cough) or werewolves (cough cough Shiver and Linger cough cough). It is a book mostly about discovery. I read it in my English class and I had finished it in less than 3 days. I liked it that much. I highly recomend it to people from age 9 up to age 94. Enjoy the book! :)

Yes they are, and they are also looking at flats together.
Giusi is an Italian equivalent of the English name "Josie." The feminine diminutive serves as a nickname -- along with Beppina, Geppina, Nuccia, Peppina, Pina -- for Giuseppina ("Josephine"), the feminine equivalent of Giuseppe ("Joseph"), from the ancient Hebrew יוֹסֵף (Yosef) for "God will increase." The respective pronunciations will be "DJOO-see" for the nickname and "DJOO-sep-PEA-na" for the forename in Pisan Italian.
