{"product_id":"the-garden-party-and-other-stories-9781420967777","title":"The Garden Party and Other Stories","description":"\u003cp\u003eKatherine Mansfield is often recognized as one of the true innovators of the modern short story. The New Zealand-born Englishwoman embraced a Bohemian lifestyle and became involved in a series of scandalous relationships, which greatly influenced some of her most significant work. Her best-known writings were produced in her final years, as she was plagued by illness. Her fiction is dominated by themes of male-female relationships, sexual ambivalence, and gender roles. Most of her work focuses on female protagonists and demonstrates the problems of social relationships. This collection, written between 1920-1922, includes \"At the Bay\", a story that proposes there is more to a woman's life than marriage and motherhood; \"The Garden Party\", which explores class differences; \"The Daughters of the Late Colonel\", a story about life and death; \"Marriage   la Mode\", about the dissolution of a relationship; \"Miss Brill\", Mansfield's memorable tale of the lonely woman, and many more. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Digireads.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50519854088466,"sku":"9781420967777","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_dafaddd2-5c88-4086-a802-f4a64a555dd3.jpg?v=1731068946","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-garden-party-and-other-stories-9781420967777","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
