In 1922, the New Zealand writer Katherine Mansfield was on the verge of literary celebrity. She was the friend of Virginia Woolf and D. H. Lawrence, and her remarkable stories were changing the way people thought about the form. But she was also deeply unhappy in her marriage to John Middleton Murry-and she was dying of tuberculosis. When she abandoned the nomadic life of an invalid in search of the ideal climate and put herself in the hands of George Ivanovich Gurdjieff, she was taking a step into the unknown. Pierce Butler has created a novel examining the relationship of Mansfield with G.I. Gurdjieff.
