In this exquisitely written ‘notebook’ (‘My Katherine Mansfield Project’), Gunn explores the meaning of ‘home’, both for herself, returning to Wellington after an absence of thirty years, and for Mansfield, whose emotional attachment to the city and her geographically distant family remained a potent imaginative force, spurring some of her finest - and final - work. For Mansfield, Gunn writes, ‘home was an instant "go-to" zone for invention and narrative and characterisation and setting’. For Gunn, home is now two places - ‘Here and there the same place after all.'
