[EAN: 9781741667240], Gebraucht, sehr guter Zustand, [PU: Vintage Books, Australia], CONTEMPORARY FICTION, 248 pages. Suffused with beauty and tenderness and shot throu gh with self-deprecating humour and frailty. Grace is taking a br eak from writing a long novel and seems to be losing her grip on daily life in London. She feels more and more like a migratory bi rd as the pull of her native New Zealand makes life in England se em transitory. Towards Another Summer is a meditation on the them es of exile and return, homesickness and not knowing where home r eally is. Frame's observational prowess is here in the vivid, hea rtbreaking passages about children and childhood, in Grace's grow ing awareness of the deep-rooted nuances of social convention, an d the very honest illumination of just how demanding and exhausti ng it can be to try to fulfill the expectations of others. Janet Frame wrote this small and exquisite novel in 1963 while taking a break from her longest novel, The Adaptable Man. It is a precurs or to An Angel at My Table, the autobiography Janet Frame wrote 2 0 years later (inspiring Jane Campion's memorable film adaptation ). It's a highly personal work that she did not want published un til after her death., Books<
