"Prelude" by Katherine Mansfield is a short story that explores the subtle nuances of family life, set against the backdrop of the Beauchamps' move to a new suburban home in Wellington. Originally inspired by Mansfield’s own experiences and encouraged by Virginia Woolf, the story offers a delicate and compressed portrayal of domestic relationships, with hints of deeper personal and emotional undercurrents.
