First US printing. The second volume in this great New Zealand's author's account of her life: this deals with her struggle to become a writer and with the years she spent in and out of mental institutions where she was diagnosed as a schizophrenic and adjudged to be permanently insane. Scheduled for a lobotomy, the operation was only stopped because she won the Hubert Church Award for her first volume of short stories. As she put, writing literally saved her life. A moving book, the basis of the excellent movie of the same name. 195 pp Near fine in a very good dustjacket (small star on bottom edge of textblock, light wear to dj, some fading to spine.) .ISBN # 0-8076-10429
