Katherine Mansfield was not only an extraordinary writer — devoted to her work — she was also a woman of great vivacity and strength who led a brief but fascinating life, from her birth in New Zealand to the literary circles of England and Europe. Virginia Woolf and D.H. Lawrence were a constant part of her life. Gillian Boddy drew on years of research to present a new Katherine Mansfield — not ethereal as the myth had it, but substantial and alive. She incorporated rarely seen photographs and some unpublished material to present this definitive and readable account. The essential one-volume biography of New Zealand's most celebrated writer.
