Description It is 1955. New Zealand's literary landscape is about to change forever. Janet Frame meets Frank Sargeson. Behind his famous hedge, Frank has been having a difficult time with his writing, but his veggies are nearly ready and his old mate Harry is due any day soon. The idyllic world of the literary 'Father of the Nation' is about to crack open when not only Janet comes to stay – with her riddling speech and baffling behaviour – but Harry appears.
