She was internationally renowned for her work, which included novels, short stories, poetry, juvenile fiction, and an autobiography, and received numerous awards including being appointed to the Order of New Zealand, New Zealand's highest civil honour. Frame's celebrity derived from her dramatic personal history as well as her literary career. Following years of psychiatric hospitalisation, Frame was scheduled for a lobotomy that was cancelled when, just days before the procedure, her debut publication of short stories was unexpectedly awarded a national literary prize. Many of her novels and short stories explore her childhood and psychiatric hospitalisation from a fictional perspective, and her award-winning three-volume autobiography was adapted into the film "An Angel at My Table" (1990), directed by Jane Campion.' [Wiki] ***'At the time of the strange happenings in Kowhai Street, Puamahara, people were living their quiet lives, taking pride in the maintenance of "suburban comfortable" homes, little realizing that inexplicable chaos was at hand. ***As the events of Kowhai Street unfold, the Tararua mountains, their foothills and orchards become as near and as far as the distant Carpathians. Janet Frame transports us to the realm of shifting dimensions - where unquestioned beliefs inexorably fall into doubt and ordinary lives come to blossom in the Ancient Springtime.'
