An Indiscreet Journey — Katherine Mansfield

A young Englishwoman embarks on a journey to the French front lines during the First World War in an effort to meet her lover, the “Little Corporal.”

Written in a modernist style that combines and explores several narratives and perspectives, “An Indiscreet Journey” is an engaging portrayal of life and relationships during wartime. It is one of the only stories written by Katherine Mansfield that was set during the war, and was purportedly based on a similar experience of Mansfield's while travelling to meet her French lover on the frontlines.
