January reads 🩵 A dip into our winter archives has January reads 🩵 A dip into our winter archives has unearthed Philip Larkin’s quiet, sad, and often beautiful 1947 novel. A Girl in Winter tells the story of twenty-something librarian, Katherine Lind, a wartime refugee living in an unnamed English provincial town. In this 1940’s England of glazed brick taverns and chilly black-out-curtained bedsits, Katherine reflects on love, otherness, and loss of innocence.
