One of the great autobiographies of the twentieth century ...A
journey from luminous childhood, through the dark experiences of
supposed madness, to the renewal of her life through writing
fiction. It is a heroic story, and told with such engaging tone,
humorous perspective and imaginative power' Michael Holroyd, Sunday
Times After being misdiagnosed with schizophrenia as a young woman,
Janet Frame spent several years in psychiatric institutions. She
escaped undergoing a lobotomy when it was discovered that she had
just won a national literary prize. She then went on to become New
Zealand's most acclaimed writer. As she says more than once in this
autobiography: 'My writing saved me.' This edition contains all
three volumes of Frame's autobiography: To the Is-Land, An Angel at
My Table and An Envoy from Mirror City. 'One of the most beautiful
and moving books I have ever read ...A masterpiece ...Janet's
autobiography had an enormous effect on me. She struck a blow right
to my heart' Jane Campion
