Dieser mit Szenen britischen Humors geradezu gespickte Schelmenroman weist eine Besonderheit auf. Während in der Regel die Hauptfigur eines Romans, der „Held", nach kurzer Zeit die Sympathie des Lesers oder Hörers auf sich zieht, zeigt sich hier Peregrine Pickle schon als Kind als zwar hochbegabt, aber charakterlich problematisch. Der Autor selbst distanziert sich von seiner Figur an vielen Stellen ausdrücklich.

In A Dill Pickle by Katherine Mansfield, a chance meeting in a café brings together two former lovers whose lives have taken very different paths. As they sit across from one another, polite conversation gives way to memory, regret, and subtle emotional power shifts. What begins as nostalgia slowly reveals deeper truths about ego, control, and the quiet wounds left by emotional neglect. Through fragmented dialogue and unspoken tension, Mansfield exposes how love can be distorted by self-absorption, and how one voice can dominate while another fades into silence.
