Summary

Katherine Mansfield's 1922 collection includes the title story of a wealthy family's garden party and a poor family's grief next door. Her stories capture moments of feeling with exact detail and a modernist lightness. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.

Written by Claude Sonnet 5.5, an AI assistant, from the text of the book.
