Description

An Angel at My Table. Autobiography 2 by Janet Frame. 'Award-winning New Zealand novelist Janet Frame is equally acclaimed for her remarkable autobiographical trilogy in which she chronicles her decent into madness and eventual salvation as a writer. In this second volume, Janet Frame 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 eight years 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. The book has light to medium general wear with creasing on the covers and scuffing along the edges. The binding remains tight and the pages bright.
