The author's first novel, and a classic coming of age text. "Jill, written at the age of twenty-one and a work of remarkable assurance, makes it clear that his novelistic gifts, had he chosen to develop them, were potentially as impressive as his abilities as a poet. This is a beautifully written and observed novel, firm in its characterization and delicate in its evocation of autumnal Oxford in 1940." (New York Times, 1964)- $171
