Fascinating! And shocking! I literally gasped when I got to the bit about the civet cat. I mean, I was aware that there was a certain amount of professional jealousy within the Blooms Berries but wow.

Ah, back to the journal debate! (& can you trust partners/widowers??)

I've got a collection of her stories I picked up in New Zealand that I've yet to crack. Yet again, you inspire me to dig in. Fascinating research here.

Thanks Kate! Hope you enjoy the stories - 'Bliss' was always one of my favourites, although I often find the lives of the modernist authors even more fascinating than their stories : )
