Katherine Mansfield verlässt mit zwanzig Jahren ihre neuseeländische Heimat, um in London Schriftstellerin zu werden. Doch erst einmal landet sie schwanger in der Pension eines bayerischen Kurorts. Dort kann sie ihre Beobachtungsgabe literarisch ausleben, vor allem wenn sie auf Menschen trifft, die während der Kur das enge Korsett gesellschaftlicher Zwänge ablegen. Entstanden sind messerscharfe und sehr amüsante Erzählungen. Über scheinbare Banalitäten verdeutlichen sie tief verankerte Verhaltensmuster, Vorurteile und Klischees im beginnenden 20. Jahrhunderts.
