Mansfield and Me - utterly charming

From the NZ Book Council blog:



ON THE BLOG
Book of the Month: Mansfield and Me

Our October Book of the Month is Mansfield and Me by Sarah Laing, published by Victoria University Press.

Mansfield and Me charts Sarah's journey towards publication and parenthood against Mansfield’s dramatic story, set in London, Paris, New York and New Zealand. Part memoir, part biography, part fantasy, it examines how our lives connect to those of our personal heroes.
