About this listen

What happens when love is felt deeply but never spoken aloud?

In Feuille d’Album by Katherine Mansfield, a shy and socially awkward young man observes the woman who lives across from him, constructing an entire emotional world from brief glances and silent longing. His affection grows not through conversation or action, but through careful watching and inward reflection.

Set in a quiet European city, the story unfolds as a delicate study of romantic idealism, isolation, and the fear of human connection. As the young man’s inner life becomes richer and more intense, the gap between imagination and reality slowly narrows—until a single, fragile moment forces him to confront the limits of his private dream. With her signature psychological precision, Mansfield captures the vulnerability of unexpressed love, revealing how desire can flourish in silence.

Press play and step into one of her most subtly moving short stories, where longing lives in the space between seeing and being seen.
