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) ***'To the village of Little Burgelstatham comes the tubercular Rev. Aisley Maude, widower, retired clergyman, to convalesce at his brother's home, Clematis Cottage. Aisley is ill-mannered, faintly disturbed by the lack of inhibition in his sunny-natured nephew, Alwyn, who spends his days and nights making love to Jenny, his girl friend, also a guest in the house. Aisley suspects that to be true to himself he must follow in the footsteps of St. Cuthbert and live as a hermit in solitude, seeking God and a meaning to life in meditation. His brother, Russell, is a dentist. He is married to Greta, whom nothing ever surprises. Russell has lived in a groove for 25 years, indifferent to Greta's ambitions for him, regulated by the clock and the seasons, content to work with out-of-date dental equipment. Only once does Russell break free of conformity; on a business trip to London he succumbs to the temptation to watch the 'planes at London Airport. Weaving in and out of the loves of this ordinary family are the suspicious, self-contained villagers who despise commuters and week-enders with equal ferocity. But there is also Muriel Baldry, a woman with her own dreams. She is married to a rich Australian, and she detests his small meanness, his obsession with 'down under' - a place she visualizes as a raw, straggling continent filled with brash men and women alien to her own fine sensibilities.
