My Katherine Mansfield Project Reviews

It amalgamates memory and fiction and research and journal so sensitively and in such an original way that I came away feeling Gunn had escaped all the old hackneyed ways of writing about influence and created something wholly her own... It really lives. All of it.': John Carey, chief book reviewer for The Sunday Times:'A beautiful and mood-provoking book...the writing went into my consciousness and I felt the loneliness, the sadness, the love and identification with Katherine Mansfield...It was beautiful.': Jane Campion
