Girl in Winter
Girl in Winter | Philip Larkin
2 posts | 3 read | 6 to read
Philip Larkin's second novel was first published in 1947. This story of Katherine Lind and Robin Fennel, of winter and summer, of war and peace, of exile and holidays, is memorable for its compassionate precision and for the uncommon and unmistakable distinction of its writing.

4⭐️ I chose this book because I heard somewhere about the protagonist working in a library 😆 This is also my first Larkin, and I liked his writing style. It‘s about adolescence vs adulthood, and how we see things differently through different ages.

I also found out that this is the second book of a trilogy. The first one is Jill, and I‘m happy that my library has it. Larkin never finished the third.

I have to go ask Oblomov to decipher this for me. He‘s the master of doing nothing 😅
