Descripción del título
In a German pension / Kathe...
"A young Englishwoman, staying in a Bavarian spa town to 'make the cure', is forced into the company of her dislikeable fellow-guests. Amused by their bourgeois prejudices and revolted by their carnal preoccupations, she walks her own path through the public world of the German middle classes." "The heroine is castigated for not producing 'handfuls of babies'; a wife remembers the naivety and terror of her wedding night; young girls are worked to death by their pregnant mistresses and dream of young men - or of sleep. Women are the main focus of Mansfield's gaze: their pretensions and self-delusions, and their private moments of despair and triumph; her men are boors or dupes, capable of offering only violence, senseless devotion, or the slavery of marriage and childbirth."--Jacket
