Listen to a sample

What to expect

"In a German Pension" is a collection of short stories by Katherine Mansfield , a New Zealand writer and critic who was an important figure in the modernist movement and widely considered one of the greatest short story writers of all time.
Focusing on the lives and interactions of a diverse group of guests staying at a German spa-town pension, where the narrative explores themes of social norms, cultural differences, and the complexities of human relationships - often through the lens of a young English woman observing the quirks and behaviors of the other pension guests - the stories are largely based on Mansfield's own experiences at a similar pension in Bavaria, where she was sent following a problematic pregnancy and miscarriage.
