Oh, how I would have loved to be in N Z on 11 March.
Coming from a Southland childhood & living an Auckland adulthood; ~ I now live in Queensland where I only discovered Janet Frame & her books last year (2012) (through an UK book site!!).
But, I can follow these posts where I am introduced to even more books Janet has written... How wonderful for what she has given & now left behind with a generous Sister creating & keeping us up-to-date on this BLOG.
Always pleased to be following...
Many thanks for kind words, Allison. Janet Frame was my aunt, and I was also lucky enough to count her as a close friend. I'm so glad her work "speaks" to you.
Thanks Pamela for your reply. Of course I realise Janet was your Aunt now.
Do hope 11 March goes well & please keep up your good work.
I didn't add I have several mental health issues like BiPolar, Panic & Anxiety attacks, Agoraphobia followed by several other phobias.
It actually made quite a difference while reading "Än Angel at my Table" where Janet indeed, did "speak" to me often.
I also wrote my Autobiography followed by a 2nd Memoir containing stories missed in the 1st book ~ self-published. I was rather amazed at the coincidences compared with "An Angel at my Table", & recorded her film (fantastic viewing!) which I watch quite often ~ I count it as "ä gift".
