An Angel at My Table is an autobiography by New Zealand writer Janet Frame, spanning the three volumes of her life. In it, Frame recounts her childhood in New Zealand, marked by poverty and tragedy, and how she discovered the power of words. At the age of twenty-one, she was admitted to psychiatric hospitals and wrongly diagnosed with schizophrenia. She was about to undergo a lobotomy, but she won a literary prize that saved her life. This autobiography is a celebration of the power of imagination and a testament to a woman's struggle to survive her inner world.
Janet Paterson Frame was a New Zealand author. She is internationally renowned for her work, which includes novels, short stories, poetry, juvenile fiction, and an autobiography, and received numerous awards including being appointed to the Order of New Zealand, New Zealand's highest civil honour.
