Garden Party, And Other Stories Version 2

Garden Party, and Other Stories version 2

by Katherine Mansfield

Katherine Mansfield's third and final collection of short stories, published in 1922, is a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of life, death, and the human condition. Written in the years leading up to her untimely death from tuberculosis, these stories are infused with a sense of both fragility and resilience, as Mansfield grapples with themes of loss, alienation, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world. Notable stories include the title story, "Garden Party," which exposes the social inequalities and hypocrisy of upper-class society, and "The Doll's House," which tells the heartbreaking tale of two young girls whose innocent play is met with cruelty and indifference.
