i really loved this collection. obviously i enjoyed some more than others. my favourite was 'Bliss'. it captures the feeling of being slightly in love with everything and everyone perfectly.

I've been introduced to Katherine Mansfield in an anthology of classical women's writing so it was nice to dive a bit deeper into her work.
