Few writers have been so eagerly mythologised as Katherine Mansfield. The short, brilliant life, the doomed love affairs, the sickly genius have together blurred the woman behind the work.
Sophie Oliver looks to Mansfield's stories for answers.

Great night listening to @michaelscaines talking to @GerriKimber about her new book on Katherine Mansfield, A Hidden Life @hatchardspiccadilly.
And doubly great to meet up with @KatyaTaylor .
Writers meeting writers, my favourite way to spend a Tuesday evening in London.

How lovely! I’ve just seen that I have a review in this week’s @TheTLS of a collection of stories and poems by Catherine Wells, wife of H.G. Wells. I absolutely loved this volume - the stories especially were a revelation. @flametreepress @michaelscaines @George_Berridge
'This volume reveals Catherine Wells to have been a modern, forgiving, capable woman, very much in control of a life that she made work for her.'

A fine stylist, experimented with several forms of biographical writing, her novels, through their nonlinear approaches to narrative, exerted a major influence on the genre...

Gerri you have made our day! Thank you so much! We’ve got a second Joan Aiken book due out in November (just in time for Halloween!) - The Haunting of Lamb House. This one is for adults 👻 and is inspired by Henry James and @nationaltrust Lamb House in Rye.

Writer & campaigner Brigid Brophy was born #OTD 1929 Original, cogent, economic in its argument & most affecting, this book benefits by her 'psychological eye' and draws the sharpest possible portrait - with a clarity of prose akin to its subject's fineness of line.
GERRI KIMBER retweeted
It's Brigid Brophy's birthday! Bold, unashamedly intelligent, and eclectic, she was one of the greatest writers of her generation. She was a proud, queer woman, a champion of camp, and a fighter against injustice. i highly recommend picking up one of her books this Pride Month!
