Something Childish and Other Stories by Katherine Mansfield
emotional

4.0
Sweetly written soulful short stories about multiple couples and their relationships. The writing is charming and there is an innocence in the stories, yet most have a darker undercurrent that is almost easy to miss. I think this duality is most obvious in, 'Something Childish But Very Natural', 'A Dill Pickle' and 'Feuille d’Album'. This duality is more subtle in some stories than others but gives each story weight and gravitas to what would have been superficial love stories.
