An Angel at My Table by Janet Frame

This is the second volume in Janet Frame's autobiography, in which New Zealand's most distinguished living novelist tells of how she left the close-knit family home in Oamaru for teacher training college in Dunedin. Her college years were a time of intense loneliness that culminated in an attempted suicide and commital to a mental institution. Labelled as a schizophrenic, Janet spent eight harrowing years in psychiatric hospitals until the publication of her prizewinning collection of stories won her a discharge.

Janet Frame is New Zealand’s most famous writer. A winner of the Commonwealth Prize for her fiction, she is also internationally acclaimed for her autobiographical trilogy, recently filmed under the title ‘An Angel at My Table’. ‘The Lagoon’ is her first published work.
