The Aloe

Linda Burnell dreams, listless and distant, whilst downstairs her mother sets in order the family's new home in the New Zealand countryside. Her vigorous and exhausting husband, Stanley, is at the office, but will return with eager and admiring eyes. Her children prepare lunch on a concrete step and her sister sings love songs to an imaginary man. Katherine Mansfield wrote 'The Aloe' to crystalise the memories of her childhood. It was reworked to become her acclaimed 'Prelude'. This original is very different in style, detail and texture.
