Inhaltsangabe:
This is the first volume in Janet Frame's autobiography. In language startling for its freshness and clarity, she tells of her childhood as the daughter of an impoverished railway worker and a mother who aspired to write poetry. Amongst superb evocations of New Zealand landscape and the sharp recall of childhood perceptions, we learn of the tragic death by drowning of her sister Myrtle, her brother's epilepsy - and begin to feel the dark undercurrents that were to suck her under in the years before she found herself as a writer.

, Softcover/Paperback. Zustand: Gut. 253 Seiten Fresh and clean copy in good condition. Frisches und sauberes Exemplar in gutem Zustand. "To the Is-land is a haunting account of a childhood and adolescence in a New Zealand railway family in the 1920s and 30s. It is the first volume of the autobiography of Janet Frame, one of the finest novelists writing in English today. Its simple yet consummately crafted language brings alive in vivid detail her home, materially poor but intellectually intense, and her first encounters with love and death. It follows her explorations into the world of words and poetry. To the Is-land won the Sir James Wattie Book of the Year Award for 1983." ISBN 9780586085851 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 137.
