Bliss and Other Stories

'She was always waiting for something to happen, for something quite different from what was happening.'

First published in 1920, Bliss and Other Stories is a daring short story collection written by the feminist trailblazer of modernism: Katherine Mansfield.

Brimming with intensity, shrewd psychological insight and quiet epiphanies, Bliss and Other Stories compellingly explores the emotional complexity lying just beneath the surface of day-to-day niceties. Mansfield's flair and impressionistic prose provides a poignant lens into the inner worlds of her characters. Including stories such as 'Bliss', 'Prelude' and 'Psychology', which delves into the pain of an affair, the emotional richness of family connection, and unspoken desire, Mansfield offers a profound insight into the intimate lives and experiences of women in the early twentieth century. This audiobook edition is brilliantly brought to life by Tania Rodrigues.

Katherine Mansfield (1888 – 1923) was a New Zealand writer and critic. She was an important figurehead of the modernist movement, befriending the likes of Virginia Woolf and D. H. Lawrence amongst others. Her works regularly explored themes such as sexuality, religion and existentialism, and have been translated into twenty-five different languages across the world.
