Product Description

Review

'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 'A reminder of why Frame was nominated for the Nobel Prize. Quite simply, she's a stunning writer' DOMINION POST (New Zealand) *'Hopefully, Towards Another Summer will incite an overdue re-evaluation of Frame's compelling and unconventional artistry' THE AUSTRALIAN 'Sometimes when you begin reading a book you realise immediately that you are in good hands. Janet Frame's name on the cover is a promise of this' CANBERRA TIMES


Product Description

This is an exquisite novel of exile and return, which Janet Frame felt too autobiographical to be published in her lifetime

"The Southern Cross cuts through my heart instead of through the sky." A weekend away from home. But where is home? Is it London? Or New Zealand? Grace Cleave, expatriate novelist living in London, is holidaying in the north of England. In this previously unpublished novel, Janet Frame explores themes of travel and return, homesickness and belonging. Grace is a migratory bird, longing for her own place in the world, if she can only decide where it is. She is struggling to establish her identity as a writer, but first she must learn to be comfortable in her own skin (feathers and all).
