rcsreads 's review for:
Faces in the Water
by Janet Frame
This is a very intense, train of thought, account of life in a mental hospital during the 1940-50's.
The book is beautifully written but it can be hard to follow. I also found myself doubting the narrator, especially towards the end.
I found it more meaningful than the Bell Jar. There are similarities but it doesn't cover life before or after institutionalism, only the demeaning life within and the pervading fear of the place.
I'd definitely recommend reading it.
