Looking for Alibrandi
by Melina Marchetta (Penguin, 1992); audiobook read by Marcella Russo (Bolinda, 2010)
YA exploration of identity and belonging, told from the perspective of a third-generation Italian Australian. The title is apt, as the destination Marchetta has her protagonist arrive at (eschewing more obvious plot lines/resolutions), is the simple need and resolve to keep searching.
