New Zealand's pre-eminent writer Janet Frame brings the skill of an extraordinary novelist and poet to these vivid and haunting recollections. A childhood and adolescence spent in a poor but intellectually vibrant railway family, life as a student, and years of incarceration in mental hospitals, are eventually followed by her entry into the saving world of writers. Frame's journey of self-discovery, from New Zealand to London, Paris, and Barcelona, and then home again, is a heartfelt and courageous account of a writer's beginnings as well as one woman's personal struggle to survive. To the Is-land is the first volume of Frame's acclaimed autobiography.

"I am not mad, only old. . . . I am in a concentration camp for the old." So begins May Sarton's short, swift blow of a novel, about the powerlessness of the old and the rage it can bring. As We Are Now tells the story of Caroline Spencer, a 76-year-old retired schoolteacher, mentally strong but physically frail, who has been moved by relatives into a "home." Subjected to subtle humiliations and petty cruelties, sustained for too short a time by the love of another person, she fights back with all she has, and in a powerful climax wins a terrible victory.
