Sensory perceptions are the tools with which Janet Frame investigates the failure of human communication in this extraordinary tale of a mind gone mad, a world become insane. With alternating interior monologues, the author conjures up the members of the Glace family: Vera, the mother who has willed herself sightless; Erlene, the daughter, who has stopped speaking; and Edward, the husband who abandons his family to make a genealogical study of a family in a distant land. Beyond this is a mind that has burst the confines of everyday individual consciousness and invented its own tormented reality.
