At the Bay
'At the Bay' Summary
Katherine Mansfield's "At the Bay" is a poignant and evocative short story that delves into the complexities of family dynamics, social class, and the fleeting nature of time. Set on a picturesque New Zealand beach during a summer holiday, the story follows the lives of the Burnell family and their interactions with a diverse array of characters. Through vivid descriptions of nature and introspective reflections on the characters' inner lives, Mansfield explores themes of change, loss, and the search for meaning in a world that is constantly in flux. The story is notable for its nuanced portrayal of human relationships, its exploration of class distinctions, and its melancholic yet ultimately hopeful tone.Book Details
