Towards Another Summer
ISBN: 9781582435824 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Self-styled writer Grace Cleave has writer's block, and her anxiety is only augmented by her chronic aversion to leaving her home, to be "among people, even for five or ten minutes." And so it is with trepidation that she accepts an invitation to spend a weekend away from London in the north of England. Once there, she feels more and more like a migratory bird, as the pull of her native New Zealand makes life away from it seem transitory. Grace longs to find her place in the world, but first she must learn to be comfortable in her own skin, feathers and all.

He arrives in the small French village of Menton, where Hurndell once lived and worked, to write. But the Memorial Room is not suitable -- it has no electricity or water. Hurndell never wrote here, though it is expected of Harry. Janet Frame's previously unpublished novel draws on her own experiences in Menton, France as a Katherine Mansfield Fellow. It is a wonderful social satire, a send-up of the cult of...

Previously published pieces have appeared in Harper's Bazaar, the NZ...
