Owls Do Cry is the story of the Withers family: Francie, soon to leave school to start work at the woollen mills; Toby, whose days are marred by the velvet cloak of epilepsy; Chicks, the baby of the family; & Daphne, whose rich, poetic imagination condemns her to a life in institutions. ` Janet Frame`s first full-length work of fiction, Owls Do Cry, is an exhilarating & dazzling prelude to her long & successful career.
