Grace, the protagonist, is taking a break 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 bird as the pull of her native New Zealand makes life in England seem transitory. The desire to leave behind the social human agonies of appearing neither too clever nor too stupid, too helpful or too lazy, becomes overwhelming for Grace. Frame's observational prowess is apparent in Towards Another Summer in the vivid and heartbreaking passages about children and childhood and in Grace's growing awareness of the demanding forces of social convention.©2007 anet Frame Literary Trust.

Reseñas editoriales

When Janet Frame died in 2004 at the age of 79, the world lost an underappreciated novelist but gained Towards Another Summer, presented here as an audiobook performed by Heather Bolton in a no-frills New Zealand accent befitting the prose.

Written in 1963, the novel was not released during Frame’s lifetime most likely because she considered it too personal. The simple story follows one female writer to a country house to spend a weekend with a journalist and his wife. Frame spares the listener a country farce and treats the listener to a meditation on interiority, longing, and relation. This audiobook is recommended listening for a long, reflective journey.

Reseñas de la Crítica

'No literary curiosity but a deeply rewarding and beautiful novel.' (The Guardian)
'Maybe Frame took pleasure in the thought of a novel appearing after her death, one that touched so closely on her essential nature, and reminded the world of her remarkable artistry.' (The Daily Telegraph)
'A piercing, poetic revelation.' (The Observer)

I loved its poetic imagery and vivid evocation of an author who suffers from social anxiety. My favorite of the 3 Frame novels I've read.

Amazon reviewer D. Lagare wrote the perfect 4-star description and review if this book. I can't do better. Use the translation button below the review to see it in English. I agree with their idea that you need to be a little familiar with Frame's history (Wiki is good) to understand this novel.

I also appreciated the performance done I believe by a New Zealand actor. Perfect!

Beautiful Book
