Jill is Philip Larkin's first novel, originally published in 1946. A subtle and moving account of a young English undergraduate from the provinces, this portrait of Oxford during the war is now regarded by many critics as a classic of its kind. 'The qualities one has learned to value in his poetry are there: control of emotion and language, keen observation, and in particular the very precise expression of half-success, anticipated failure or sadness.' New Statesman 'Jill is, in a sense, a kind of cryptic literary manifesto.
It is a novel about writing, about discovering a literary personality, and about the sorts of consolation that art can provide.' Andrew Motion
