The details and research covered by Gerri, make the character of Katherine come alive. Just reading the many snippets that are contained in this book will certainly promote an interest in Katherine Mansfield, and place her name among those great writers in history. * Blue Wolf Reviews * This is surely a book of which Mansfield would have approved...her meticulous work navigates easily between the macro- and microscopic. -- Aimee Gasston * New Zealand Studies Network * [A] shrewdly sympathetic account of Mansfield’s early years.[A] sensitive portrait of a vital, contrary young woman, still locked in a love-hate relationship with the country and family which she would come to celebrate in fiction. -- Elizabeth Lowry * Times Literary Supplement * Gerri Kimber is to be congratulated on her meticulous research: her illuminating, elegantly written account of Katherine Mansfield's early years will give scholars and literary enthusiasts alike far greater understanding and appreciation of Mansfield's mature work. -- Professor Dame Jacqueline Wilson, Patron of the Katherine Mansfield Society
