Show Notes

Katherine Mansfield was a modernist writer from New Zealand, born into a prominent family in Wellington. She moved to England when she was 19 years old and matriculated at Queen's College with her sisters in 1903. She was close friends with other modernist writers, including D.H. Lawrence and Virginia Woolf. She died of TB at the age of 34. This story is about two sisters who spent their lives under the oppression of everyone around them. I hope you enjoy it!
