Fifteen stories from the last three years of Katherine Mansfield's life: a bay at dawn, a garden party going forward while a carter lies dead at the bottom of the lane, a lady's maid who gives up her one chance of marriage, two sisters who cannot decide anything now that their father is gone. She was dying of tuberculosis in France as she wrote them and knew it. Nothing is explained; the stories stop at the point where the reader understands.
