Jellicoe Road is about Taylor, a girl boarding at Jelllicoe School in Australia, the territory wars between the students, the military kids, and the townies, and Taylor's search for her family history and her guardian, Hannah. Interspersed between all this are excerpts from Hannah's manuscript, about a group of friends living on Jellicoe Road.
I was fairly confused at the beginning of the book; I was unsure about the italicized sections, where they came from, who the characters were supposed to be, and how they related to the rest of the story. I didn't totally understand the hierarchy of the school or the rules of the territory wars. And Taylor herself is rather abrasive and hard to like at the beginning. Everything gradually comes together, and it's really beautiful how it's all choreographed. A
