We will walk and talk in Regent's Park discussing this New Zealand masterpiece.
About this Event

This luminous masterpiece of New Zealand modernist literature follows the Withers family over the course of two decades, from an impoverished but imaginative rural childhood to a powerful exploration of adult lives that don’t conform to the rigid expectations of post-war society. This extraordinary book is made all the more poignant by Janet Frame’s own harrowing experience in psychiatric institutions.

N.B. Please ensure that you have read the book BEFORE coming on the walk - or it risks spoiling the event for other walkers. If you've don't quite have time to read the book, please consider instead joining the Monday evening Zoom, for which reading the book isn't a prerequisite.
