freyaf97 's review for:
Faces in the Water
by Janet Frame
Frame has heartbreakingly blurred the line between fiction and non-fiction. Through Istina she was able to create a record of her own fear and humiliation within this narrative. The culmination of these was the threat of the lobotomy. Istina’s terror seeps off the page as she contemplates the destruction of her sense of self and her desperation to save the person that she has become. The only light left in this book is that Istina, like Frame, may have managed to escape that fate.
