In A German Pension, Version 2

In a German Pension, Version 2

by Katherine Mansfield

In a German Pension is a collection of short stories that explore the lives of women living in a boarding house in Germany. The stories are full of wit and social commentary, and they offer a unique glimpse into the lives of women in the early 20th century. While some of the stories are set in a German boarding house, others explore different themes and settings. Many of the stories display a wicked sense of humour, while Mansfield's restiveness under the restrictions and expectations imposed on her as a woman is most palpable.
