Scented Gardens for the Blind
Scented Gardens for the Blind | Janet Frame
1 post | 4 read | 21 to read
Vera is the mother who has willed herself sightless, Erlene, her daughter, has ceased to speak, and Edward, the husband and father, has taken refuge in a distant land. Beyond this is a mind that has burst the confines of everyday individual consciousness and invented its own tormented reality.

"Frame is one of those authors whose popularity ebbs and flows, but her talent is constant. I love the way she plays with language, perception & perspective in this one. Full of memorable characters, allegories, and imaginary insect friends, this book is unlike anything you've read before." --Devon

LisaAnnGallagher Janet Frame's books are a wonder. Watch the Jane Campion film "Angel at my table" which is a bio of Frame - excellent! 8y
