An Angel at My Table
After being misdiagnosed with schizophrenia as a young woman, Janet Frame spent several years in psychiatric institutions. She escaped undergoing a lobotomy when it was discovered that she had just won a national literary prize. She then went on to become New Zealand’s most acclaimed writer. As she says more than once in this autobiography: ‘My writing saved me.’
