Finished "The Garden Party and Other Stories"
Feel like I'm understanding these a lot better now. Favourites were "The Garden-Party", "The Daughters of the Late Colonel" and "Marriage à la Mode".
"Marriage à la Mode" I especially loved. The perspective swap and the characterisation within 10 pages is incredible.
In general the depth of these stories is nuts, some being 5 pages, but telling so much with so little.

Finished with "Bliss and Other Stories". To be honest I had absolutely zero clue what some of these were about, couldn't tell you a word.
Mr Reginald Peacock's Day, A Dill Pickle, and The Little Governess were my favourites. A Dill Pickle especially was great, loved some of the descriptions.
I think as I go on I'll understand Mansfield's style better (maybe).
