    The Leaving Party

    • Lōemis
    • Katherine Mansfield, one of New Zealand’s greatest writers, left New Zealand for good in 1908. Before doing so, she threw a leaving party and invited all her friends. The party had many of her favourite ingredients: live music, good company, food offerings, tea, exquisite gin, parlour games, and elements of the occult and divination.
