Towards Another Summer (Paperback)
Description
From the author of "An Angel at My Table" comes an exquisitely written story of exile and return, homesickness, and belonging. Written in 1963, this is the first publication of a novel Frame considered too personal to be published while she was alive.
Praise for Towards Another Summer…
Praise for Janet Frame
“In this deeply personal novel of exile and loneliness, Janet Frame proves the master of nostalgia, beauty, and loss. Frame is, and will remain, divine.”
—Alice Sebold
"Like every writer worth remembering, Frame exploits—or creates on the page, to be absolutely puristic about it—her peculiar sensibility, her private window into the universal." —The New York Times Book Review
"Frame has been compared with Katherine Mansfield and Virginia Woolf. I am more often reminded of Jean Rhys, similarly distanced from her homeland in the West Indies, with an artistic viewpoint that may seem skewed by its own sensitivity but is, in fact, courageously clear-sighted." —Telegraph (London)
