A young Englishwoman embarks on a journey to the French front lines during the First World War in an effort to meet her lover, the "Little Corporal."Written in a modernist style that combines and explores several narratives and perspectives, "An Indiscreet Journey" is an engaging portrayal of life and relationships during wartime. It is one of the only stories written by Katherine Mansfield that was set during the war, and was purportedly based on a similar experience of Mansfield's while travelling to meet her French lover on the frontlines.

Biographie de Katherine Mansfield

Katherine Mansfield was a popular New Zealand short-story writer best known for the stories "The Woman at the Shore, " "How Pearl Button Was Kidnapped, " "The Doll's House, " and her twelve-part short story "Prelude, " which was inspired by her happy childhood. Although Mansfield initially had her sights set on becoming a professional cellist, her role as editor of the Queen's College newspaper prompted a change to writing.
Mansfield's style of writing revolutionized the form of the short story at the time, in that it depicted ordinary life and left the endings open to interpretation, while also raising uncomfortable questions about society and identity. Mansfield died in 1923 after struggling for many years with tuberculosis.
