Title: Bliss, and other stories
Description: A collection of fourteen short anecdotes, Bliss & Other Stories captures the human spirit in a way few writers have ever dreamed of doing. Mansfield’s ability to string together words approaches poetry. Her stories are free from the over-dramatic writing style that many women writers have been criticized for using, and instead candidly touch on the human experience. Whether writing about the awakening of sexuality in the title story or the bond of a family in “Prelude,” Mansfield explores the search for contentment in life.
