I was now an established citizen with little hope of returning
across the frontier; I was in the crazy world, separated now by
more than locked doors and barred windows from the people who
called themselves sane.' When Janet Frame's doctor suggested that
she write about her traumatic experiences in mental institutions in
order to free herself from them, the result was Faces in the Water,
a powerful and poignant novel. Istina Mavet descends through
increasingly desolate wards, with the threat of leucotomy ever
present. As she observes her fellow patients, long dismissed by
hospital staff, with humour and compassion, she reveals her
original and questing mind. This riveting novel became an
international classic, translated into nine languages, and has also
been used as a medical school text.
