Mesmerising collection, fantastic voices

Finally someone had the briliant idea of publishing the long awaited complete Katherine Mansfield, with an introductory study and a nice obituary at the end of the volume. It'll be my #1 summer listen, whilst the stories are as fresh as they had been a hundred years ago.
The female narrators are astonishing, some of them incredibly young and fresh, all of them talented, expressive and very British. Actually, they are able to feel and to transmit the finest nuances of these unforgettable writings where you can't find a weakish line. A treasure!
