Towards another summer
by Janet FrameTowards Another Summer is a meditation on the themes of exile and return, homesickness and not knowing where home really is.
It is suffused with beauty and tenderness and shot through with self-deprecating humour and frailty.

How beautifully, and wittily, Janet Frame captures the N. of England at a particularly miserable season: the early sixties (?
Perhaps too easily enticed by an unexpected-last novel from the inimitable Janet Frame, I found this book a necessary completion of her life's work and a must-read for any Frame devotee.

[[ASIN:158243476X Towards Another Summer]] Janet Frame is one of my favorite authors. This book was supposed to be her most personal and wasn't released until after her death.
About Janet Frame
The fate befalling the young woman who wanted "to be a poet" has been well documented. Desperately unhappy because of family tragedies and finding herself trapped in the wrong vocation (as a schoolteacher) her only escape appeared to be in submission to society's judgement of her as abnormal. She spent four and a half years out of eight years, incarcerated in mental hospitals. The story of her almost miraculous survival of the horrors and brutalising treatment in unenlightened institutions has become well known. She continued to write throughout her troubled years, and her first book (The Lagoon and Other Stories) won a prestigious literary prize, thus convincing her doctors not to carry out a planned lobotomy.She returned to society, but not the one which had labelled her a misfit. She sought the support and company of fellow writers and set out single-mindedly and courageously to achieve her goal of being a writer. She wrote her first novel (Owls Do Cry) while staying with her mentor Frank Sargeson, and then left New Zealand, not to return for seven years....
