I really enjoy the modernist style of writing in Mansfield's short story format.  It's easier to resist trying to see order where there is none.  You can't really assume or expect anything going into a short story.

In this Audrey edition, Juliet Stevenson's narration is excellent - she gives an immersive experience.  The notes in the guide are very helpful too.
