A Girl in Winter

Product Information

There would be sleep, simply to freshen her again for work; there would be other Miss Greens, Miss Parburys, Mr Ansteys; all of this was inescapable, and it did not matter if she accepted it or not. Here Katherine Lind works unhappily as a library assistant under a peculiarly unpleasant librarian (vividly portrayed by Larkin). We understand that young girls love to dress up for a special occasion and our designers create and source exciting girl special occasion shoes for us and for you.

This small event soon turns into a larger story, with Evelyn showing up at Richard's home seeking help, and he ropes in his tenant, Lucia, an academic from Chile, to assist and the three end up on a road trip. Arriving in a tiny Devon village, they're sent to live with an eccentric widow who lives in a drafty mansion in the middle of wintry woods. Along with Ted Hughes—whom he in no significant way resembles—Philip Larkin is generally considered the finest practicing poet in England today. Resting briefly at her flat, she discovers that a telegram has been sent to her: it is from Robin Fennel, one of the very few people she knows in England.

Katherine is the outsider, and she feels it, despite the block she seems to have put on her emotions.

Memories of her first visit to England, a girlhood interlude with her penpal, Robin Fennel, contrast bitterly with her current lonely situation, but when fate causes Robin to resurface, memory and expectation play their usual sly tricks. Later, when the two are having a romantic evening on the river, Robin tells Katherine that in prehistoric times he could have taken her all the way home, since the Thames used to flow into the Rhine.

Of course the setting for the novel was slightly before then, but having experienced it I’m sure inspired Larkin.The novel is told in three parts, with the first and final third ‘present day’ story taking place on one winter Saturday during the war, framing the middle, longer section which takes place six years earlier. Cravat-Wearer of the Year Nige, who, like Mr Kenneth Horne, prefers to remain anonymous, is a founder blogger of The Dabbler and has been a co-blogger on the Bryan Appleyard Thought Experiments blog.

I had no idea either that Larkin had written anything other than prose but on the evidence of those extracts you shared, it’s a shame his fictional output is so limited because they are a treat.

It is a highly sensitive, rather meditative and slowly moving novel, a work of deliberately modest proportions reminiscent of Virginia Woolf and the early Elizabeth Bowen: a poet's novel, one might be inclined to say, in which a not-extraordinary provincial town in the depths of winter is lovingly reconstructed. In an isolated mountain onsen (hot spring) town in Japan, Shimamura, a wealthy Tokyo dilettante, meets Komako, a lowly geisha.During the first snowfall of the season, they make a child out of snow—the next morning, their creation is gone, but a blonde-haired girl named Faina appears in the woods.
