Her autobiography is amazing. Also, let's have some love for New Zealand writers.

I'm very interested in Janet Frame's works. I think it was through reading one of your wonderful reviews Aubrey that I found my way to grabbing her Autobiographical series recently. That and the fact that Jane Campion made a movie based on those books. I could probably read them or one of her others, as we have a few on the shelves at work (a library).

I would love to read some Janet Frame, who has always been on my list. In the Memorial Room sounds like something I could get into.

I actually have a book by Janet Frame on my to-read list: The Carpathians. Doubt I'll get to it in 2015 though.
I may try to read her trilogy of autobiographies in 2015, as well as possibly a novel. For those of you who are looking for short story collections, Between My Father and the King: New and Uncollected Stories is a good collection, recently published.
