The edition that I have listened to had six stories, out of which the most interesting to me were "Pictures" and "The Little Governess". I liked the feminist theme of Mansfield's collection, mostly related to the difficult situations of different women. What I did not enjoy though was the style - it was not really my thing, and the characters were not that interesting either. The narrator did not hook me that much either, but I liked the guide and notes from Audrey's audiobook version.
