Descrizione

About The Book: Katherine Mansfield's "The Garden Party" tells the story of the wealthy Sheridan family preparing for a garden party. Laura, one of the daughters, initially shows an air of superiority, but she becomes intrigued by the workingmen setting up the marquee. When they learn of their neighbor's death, Laura believes the party should be canceled, but her family disagrees. After the party, Laura is asked to bring leftovers to the grieving neighbor's house. There, she confronts the reality of death and is struck by the peacefulness of the deceased man's face. Laura's emotional burden is evident when she meets her brother, unable to express her feelings. The story explores themes of class, privilege, and the contrast between life's beauty and the starkness of death.
