Items related to Mansfield: A Novel
The three years in the life of the writer Katherine Mansfield explored in this novel are in part the story of the ups and downs of her relationship with Jack Middleton Murry and her struggle to write the "new kind of fiction" which she felt the times demanded. She is restless, constantly on the move, in and out of London, to and from France, even into the war zone to be with her French lover, novelist Francis Carco. For a short time, Mansfield is able to behave as though the war is merely "background", but her ardent relationship with her brother, who arrives from New Zealand to fight in France, makes detachment impossible - as does her love for Jack's Oxford friend Frederick Goodyear, also a soldier. The war's shadow remorselessly darkens all their lives, but only increases Mansfield's determination to break through as a writer. While sticking scrupulously to what is known about the lives of Mansfield and her friends (a cast that includes D. H. and Frieda Lawrence, Bertrand Russell, Dora Carrington, Lytton Strachey, Aldous Huxley, T. S. Eliot, Lady Ottoline Morrell and Virginia Woolf), this novel is extraordinary in taking the reader beyond the point of biography into the mind, emotions and sensibility of its subject. It is a sharp, subtle and appealing portrait of a writer and her celebrated circle.

Review:
'A vivid and engrossing historical novel' -- Daily Telegraph
Book Description:
During the First World War the outstanding New Zealand writer, then a young woman, was in London, a part of the Bloomsbury set. She knew T. S. Eliot and Bertrand Russell, she was close to D. H. and Frieda Lawrence, and she was in and out of love with John Middleton Murry. Virginia Woolf wrote of Mansfield: "Hers was the only writing I was ever jealous of".
