Book SynopsisConsidered one of the greatest short story writers of her generation, Katherine Mansfield was a prolific and modern writer from New Zealand. Born Katherine Mansfield Beauchamp in Wellington, New Zealand in 1888, Mansfield''s family was socially prominent and well-off. She moved to England for the first time at age 15 to attend Queen''s College with her sisters. Mansfield developed a life-long love for England and would live there off and on until her untimely death from tuberculosis in 1923 in France, while seeking a cure for her illness. Mansfield was a friend and contemporary of writers such as D. H. Lawrence and Virginia Woolf and was influenced by the work of Anton Chekhov. While Mansfield published many stories in periodicals during her lifetime, she wrote much in the final years of her life that was not published until her death. Her stories are remarkable for their clarity and insightfulness and her masterful ability to capture the small and subtle moments that change lives f

Book SynopsisThis stunning collection of stories takes us into the inner worlds of families, the hidden corners of marriages and affairs and friendships, and introduces us to people whose lives are shaken and changed by love: a grieving mother in need of comfort; a frightened father in need of redemption; wives who become mistresses and regret it, or don’t; a psychiatrist crashing through professional boundaries to provide for her husband and son. Amy Bloom holds her characters close to us as they encounter the everyday mysteries of need and desire, showing us tenderness and humour in the midst of grief and sorrow. She writes the kind of fiction that celebrates the flawed dignity of the human and reminds us all of the fine venture of living in grace and hope in the worlds we are born to and make.Trade Review‘This debut collection, human and humorous, is an impressive display . . . Bloom is uncensorious, revelling in the predicaments she has created for her protagonists and their instinct for survival . . . She has great flexibility of narrative voice, whether as a middle-aged furrier in love with a schoolgirl or a young boy who accidentally shoots his cousin with his father’s gun’ The Times ‘Bereavement, moral breakdown and sexual non-conformity are the deep waters into which Amy Bloom plunges in her first book – though causing scarcely a ripple in the smooth narrative surface . . . Bloom’s advice seems to be: whatever it takes to scrape through life, do it – grand gesture or compromise, sex or shopping’ Independent on Sunday ‘Amy Bloom’s debut collection is a book which beckons if it is put down unfinished, and which – although contemporary – provides all the engrossing satisfaction of a nineteenth-century novel’ Guardian ‘An impressive addition to the booming renaissance in the American short story. Bloom has all the elegant acuity of a modern day Flannery O’Connor . . . Her style is astonishingly versatile: wry and acerbic one minute; generous and passionate the next’ GQ ‘This is truly a collection that leaves the reader in a state of grace’ Sunday Times
