The Little Governess

In Katherine Mansfield's masterful short story "Bliss," we meet Bertha, who initially basks in a profound sense of happiness as she reflects on her life. Her joyful walk home takes a stark turn when she uncovers her husband's affair with her friend Pearl, leading to a poignant exploration of themes like marriage, betrayal, and the complexities of human emotions. This tale is part of the "Bliss & Other Stories" collection, which also includes five additional works by Mansfield.
