One of the themes of the novel “Looking for Alibrandi’ is culture and cultural issues. ... “No matter how hard we try, it is impossible to escape our background”. All of the Alibrandi women have had to put up with a lot in their lives from the world around them and from their background. In Sydney, the Alibrandi family is part of the Italian community. ... As Josie’s search for her identity and her place in life, she learnt not be ashamed of who she is, not to be ashamed of her background, and to appreciate the ways of family and her culture. ... Sometimes, she hates her background and wishes to escape from it. She said “Culture is nailed into you so deep you cant escape it”. Josie gets a lot of pressure coming from her background. ... No matter what Josie does, she is not allowed to do anything embarrassing to the family. ... Josie’s background also affected her young adult relationship. ... “No matter how hard we try, it is impossible to escape our background.” Josie will never escape where her descendants came from or the customs and belief she grew up with and will probably pass them on to the next generations.
