An angel at my table

An angel at my table

Janet Frame's life was memorialised in the 1990 film An angel at my table, which was based on her three autobiographies, To the is-land (1982), An angel at my table (1984) and The envoy from mirror city (1985). Here Frame (back) poses with the three actors who played her in the film – from left, Karen Fergusson, Alexia Keogh and Kerry Fox.
