Customer Reviews

One of the great novels of our time

In 'The Carpathians', Janet Frame is in complete control of all of her greatest gifts; her majestic imagination, her mastery of language and cadence, and her ability to tell a story that works on a number of different levels. Written in 1989 and winner of a number of literary prizes, Frame's vision of the future is still chilling and poignant today. A truly brilliant work by an original thinker.
