Description
An Angel at My Table is a deeply personal and moving autobiography that explores the author's struggles with mental illness and her journey to becoming one of New Zealand's most acclaimed writers.
After being misdiagnosed with schizophrenia as a young woman, Janet Frame spent several years in psychiatric institutions. However, it was discovered that she had just won a national literary prize, saving her from undergoing a lobotomy. This autobiography is the culmination of three volumes: To the Is-Land, An Angel at My Table, and An Envoy from Mirror City.
Through her writing, Frame reveals the profound impact it had on her life, stating that 'My writing saved me.' This powerful and thought-provoking book has resonated with many readers, including film director Jane Campion, who describes it as 'one of the most beautiful and moving books I have ever read.'
