''Janet Frame''s luminous words are the more precious because they were snatched from the jaws of the disaster of her early life. It is one of the classics of autobiography.

Any one of her books could be published today and it would be ground-breaking'' ELEANOR CATTON After being misdiagnosed with schizophrenia as a young woman, Janet Frame spent several years in psychiatric institutions.

She struck a blow right to my heart'' JANE CAMPION, GUARDIAN ''One of the great autobiographies written in the twentieth century'' MICHAEL HOLROYD, SUNDAY TIMES '' All my preoccupations as a writer - my notions of home, beauty, madness of sorts and longing - come from her'' MEG MASON
