Something Childish But Very Natural by Katherine Mansfield

4.0

My first attempt at reading books by Katherine Mansfield. First of all i like her pure handwriting style. She can leave you in a complete suspense and she is strict at times. I really liked the first story about Henry and Edna, the way they recognised each other, the way they took possessions of each other's names in the pause. The frightening thought of having someone for the rest of your life. And knowing where you belong. And realising home can be a person. My favourite writer Woolf once said that Katherine was the only writer that she had been jealous of. And not forget to mention the walks in the narrow streets, the smell of lemons and hot coffee. Couldn't be happier. And knowing that if you long and wait for people, they just leave you. And you are desperately left in the distance that they left. Countless unsaid words.
