Such a wonderful short-story… 💜
Mansfield’s style is so powerful it just makes me want to put away my keyboard and forget I even tried… It’s lyrical but direct, not a word is wasted, and images flow into your head as you read, building up this fantastic panorama of perspectives… And how it’s built, how it comes full-circle at the end, nailing a perfect landing… This is a creator in perfect control of their craft. Reading her is like listening to Haendel.
I’m rambling, but it’s because I’m speechless.
