About this listen

What if a single gust of wind could stir up every memory you’ve tried to outrun? In The Wind Blows by Katherine Mansfield, you follow Matilda, a young girl swept through her day by a restless force she can’t quite name. As the wind howls through her coastal town, familiar streets feel strange, childhood comforts shift beneath her feet, and the world seems to tilt toward something new, uncertain, and irresistible. Moments blur together: a sudden sadness, a flash of laughter, a distant dream she barely remembers wanting. Mansfield gently reveals the uneasy beauty of growing up—the way time stretches and folds, how a single breath can carry both hope and heartbreak. With her unparalleled ability to capture the inner tides of emotion, she transforms an ordinary day into a luminous portrait of youth on the edge of change.

Press play and drift into one of Mansfield’s most evocative stories, where every heartbeat is shaped by the wind and every passing thought holds its own quiet wonder.
