ssk (Australia) (2009/07/09):
Award winning New Zealand novelist Janet Frame is equally acclaimed for her remarkable autobiographical trilogy in which she chronicles her descent into madness and eventual salvation as a writer. In this second volume, she leaves the family home, only to find that her hard won independence is as much a burden as a blessing. Cracking under the strain, she is mistakenly pronounced schizophrenic, and spends the next 8 yrs in mental institutions. The timely award of a prize for her first collection of stories reprieves her from what could have been a lifetime of incarceration. With the support of fellow writers, she begins the work that will eventually win her an international reputation.
