A Girl in Winter

This classic novel captures twelve transformative hours in the life of an exiled woman living in England and working at a library during World War II.

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.
