As is often the case with a collection of short stories, I found some more enjoyable than others. I often like a break between stories to come to the next one fresh, but with 33 stories in this book it means you take a while. They differed in length and tone but overall they were entertaining and interesting.

Had been meaning to read Mansfield for a long time but was finally curious enough after visiting her home in Wellington and watching the fascinating documentary into her short life. I'm not normally a fan of short stories but found these to be interesting snapshots of life and not at all as pointless as Austen, who leaves me cold.
