A young drama teacher in the West
of Scotland suffers deep psychological problems which affect
all areas of her life. She fails to find meaning in anything
around her, but in her search she strips situations of their
conventional values and sees them in a sharp, new light.

This single volume contains all three
sections - To the Is-land, An Angel at My Table (memorably
filmed by Jane Campion) and The Envoy from Mirror City. The
trilogy moves from a childhood and adolescence spent in a
materially poor but intellectually intense family, through
life as a student and years of incarceration in mental hospitals,
to entry into the saving world of writers and the 'Mirror
City' that sustains them. Janet Frame's autobiography is one
of the twentieth century's great works of literature.
