Emily's Regent's Park Walking Book Club - May - Owls Do Cry

This luminous masterpiece of New Zealand modernist literature follows the Withers family over the course of two decades, from an impoverished but imaginative rural childhood to a powerful exploration of adult lives that don’t conform to the rigid expectations of post-war society. This extraordinary book is made all the more poignant by Janet Frame’s own harrowing experience in psychiatric institutions.
