Isobel English, The Tablet
`This middle volume is remarkably close to a novel. No selected
letters could possibly achieve this effect. What we get is a
compelling daily record, charting the ups and downs like a fever
graph.

Evening Post
`meticulously transcribed, annotated and edited collection of
Katherine Mansfield's letters
'
Rhoda Nathan, Hofstra University, English Literature in Transition,
1880-1920
`The editors Vincent O'Sullivan and Margaret Scott have made the
material very accessible to those not familiar with Katherine
Mansfield's life and work with helpful editorial notes, while
fragments from her notebooks and recipients' letters provide the
necessary context to thse colourful and dramatic letters.'
