Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 583 pages.Janet Frame, born in 1924, is New Zealand's most ce lebrated and least public author. Her early life in small South I sland towns seemed, at times, engulfed in a tide of doom: one bro ther still-born, another epileptic; two sisters dead of heart fai lure while swimming; Frame herself committed to mental hospitals for the best part of a decade. Later, her surviving sister was te mporarily felled in adulthood by a stroke, an uncle cut his throa t and a cousin shot his lover, his lover's parents and then himse lf. . This, then, is an inspiring biography of a woman who climbe d out of an abyss of unhappiness to take control of her life and become one of the great writers of her time. And to enable her bi ographer to write this book scrupulously and honestly, Janet Fram e spoke for the first time about her whole life. She also made av ailable her personal papers and directed her family and friends t o be equally communicative. The result is a biography of astonish ing intimacy and frankness.
