Group readaloud: Short Stories by Katherine Mansfield
Details
This is a read-aloud session, with all text shared on-screen, and discussions of what we just read between rounds – like a small-group seminar. There are no prerequisites; you do not need to purchase the book for yourself, although we encourage you to do so, as it is well worth it!
In this session, we will read "The Daughters of the Late Colonel", and then discuss.
"Katherine Mansfield’s 1920 short story, reprinted in The Garden Party and other stories, was written when she was in her early 30s (she died at the age of just 34). But this masterpiece is full of such wise tenderness, such empathy, that you feel it must have written by someone much older." (Julian Girdham)

Latecomers (unless we know you) will generally NOT BE ADMITTED once the reading starts. If this is your first time with us, consider joining five minutes early, so we can work out any technical issues you may be having.
