Description
A haunting novel about art and its power to heal, J. L. Carr's A Month in the Country explores the enduring impact of the past on those who have experienced trauma. Published as a Penguin Essential, this edition has been carefully selected to showcase the author's masterful storytelling.
Set in the summer following the Great War, the novel follows Tom Birkin, a demobbed soldier, as he arrives in the village of Oxgodby to uncover and restore a medieval wall painting in the local church. There, he forms a bond with Charles Moon, a fellow damaged survivor of the war, as they work to uncover the secrets of the village's past.
As they delve deeper into their work, long dormant passions within the village are stirred, and the boundaries between past and present begin to blur. What Tom discovers will stay with him for the rest of his life, leaving a lasting impression on those who have experienced the devastating effects of war.
