From the publisher

A modernist master of cool precision and extraordinary delicacy, Mansfield wrote about family life with a sharp radicalism, and At the Bay—previously unavailable in a standalone edition—is one of her greatest works. Told in thirteen parts, At the Bay unspools to capture a single summer’s day in the life of a single family.

Beginning early in the morning and ending at dusk, At the Bay captures both the Burnell family’s intricate web of relatives and friends and the dreamy, unassuming natural beauty of Crescent Bay. Haunting but ever understated, At the Bay is as timeless novella, and a testament to Mansfield’s remarkable powers.
