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) ***'Like the late Jean Rhys, this remarkable New Zealand novelist has built up a reputation that fair dazzles, and deservedly so' (Publishers weekly). ***'"Faces in the Water" is about confinement in mental institutions, about the fear the sane have of the mad and the ways in which that fear transforms into banishment and punishment of those whose reaction to a truly cruel and insane world is to move into a world which is self-created.' (Quote and review quote taken from the back cover) ***First UK paperback edition of Janet Frame's second novel. An uncommon title to find now in the first Women's Press first printing. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
