Hardcover. Zustand: As New. As New. Drawing on Janet Frame's own experience, these two novels explore the world of the mind - isolated and inarticulate - and very different ways of leaving the protection and confines of home. In Faces in the Water (first published in 1961), Istina Mavet moves in and out of mental hospitals, facing the regular terrors of electric shock treatment and the threats of being sent to the dreaded Ward 2 and being given a leucotomy. In The Edge of the Alphabet (first published in 1962), epileptic Toby Withers and failed schoolteacher Zoe Bryce leave behind the judgements of their communities for the wider world, boarding a liner for London. Each novel is distinguished by startlingly fresh and apposite imagery, beautiful writing and vivid characters and scenes. Both show Janet Frame's wisdom, compassion and genius.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Toby Withers, a young man with epilepsy, leaves New Zealand after the death of his mother. While on board a ship to England, he meets Zoe, a middle-aged woman looking for a life of meaning and Pat, an Irishman who claims to have many friends but treats people with carelessness. Alike in their alienation, all three embark on a new life in London, piecing together an existence in the margins of the urban world. The Edge of the Alphabet, the third novel by Janet Frame, one of New Zealand's foremost writers of the twentieth century, is a piercing, startlingly strange work about identity, the post-colonial experience and the search for connection in a lonely world, published on the centenary of her birth with a new foreword by Catherine Lacey. The third novel by Janet Frame, one of New Zealand's foremost writers, The Edge of the Alphabet is a piercing, startlingly strange work about identity, the post-colonial experience and the search for connection in a lonely world, published on the centenary of her birth.
