The women at the store by Katherine Mansfield

The colloquial language used by some of the characters can make this a story that is hard to follow as a reader may therefore be concentrating on this too much. A sense of the old days and the harshness of the western USA states (as a I believe this is where this story is based) is brought across and we get a real feeling of the landscape and humans place within it. The ending was a odd way of wrapping it up, it almost felt like Katherine was just trying to get it over and done with, so for this reason I would say that there could be some more work done to this short piece.
