A collection of short stories by Katherine Mansfield, first published in 1920. Set largely in domestic and family life, sometimes in her native New Zealand, they explore the inner worlds of women, children, and couples through quiet, revealing moments. Worth listening for its delicate psychological insight and modernist clarity.
