The Garden Party and Other Stories by Katherine Mansfield

4.0

Incredible depth and characterizations of these short stories. In my opinion, the best ones include At the Bay, The Garden Party, Marriage a la Mode, The Voyage, and An Ideal Family. There were a few that lacked the strength of those listed, otherwise this would have been a 5-star rating.

What a shame this was removed from the Peter Boxall's 1001 Books to Read Before You Die after the original 2006 edition. Katherine Mansfield deserves recognition appropriate to other short story writers such as Samuel Beckett and Flannery O'Connor.
