Hello , those interested in literature .
Have anyone read Katherine Mansfield's story before ?
She is one of my favorite authors .It's mainly because she is excellent at the emotion , feeling and thought of young people , including children through vivid depiction . Most likely owing to " an exacting craftman",each word she use in the story is very meaningful , in other word , there mustn't be a single word out of place .
Taken from " Her First Ball " ( one of Mansfield's short story ), you understand what kind of feeling Leila were having during her dancing .
I got excited as if I had been with her (Leila ) .
In addition , there are some wonderful description in it .
For example > The azaleas were separate flowers no longer , they were pink and white flags streaming by .
> there came a burst of tuning from the drill hall, it leaped almost to the ceiling .
> The lights , t he azaleas , the dresses, the pink faces , the velvet chairs, all became one beautiful flying wheel .
I recommend you see Katherine Mansfield's world , which might be your great pleasure and spice of life .
Do you have any favorite books you recommend me ?
I would appriciate if you could make an quick response ?
Thanks !
