I'm currently reading the collected letters of Katherine Mansfield (free download from mebooks.co.nz ), and the fascinating aspect to them, is how they show she was a very fallable individual like the rest of us: often caustic in her remarks (and very funnily so, thus to be applauded), a bit petty, and quite the straight-laced prude on matters such as drinking.

I reckon she'd have some misgivings with that cover :)

Anyway, a great read. I'm reading more and more memoir, and letters are of course at the foundation level of that genre. Perhaps it's something to do with middle age?
