ABOUT
Biography account of Janet Frame's childhood and adolescence in a New Zealand family in the 1920s and 1930s. Its language brings alive in vivid detail her home, materially poor but intellectually intense, and her first encounters with love and death.
Janet Frame shows an intense desire (and flair) in retaining her possessions - a place, an object, a thought, an emotion, a fragment of memories - in writing. It deals with loss and trauma in an honest, realistic, and fairly subdued manner, making it more geniune than a lot of best-selling memoirs. In her autobiography Janet Frame reminds us of existential moments when one detaches from one's self and looks at the world: the unnamable sadness that we do and do not experience.
