Discover the touching narrative of 'A Month In The Country,' a poignant novel by J.L. Carr that explores themes of healing and rediscovery in post-war England. Set in the serene village of Oxgodby, this beautifully written A-format paperback (ISBN: 9780241972038) invites readers on a reflective journey with Tom Birkin, a soldier returning from the Great War. Tasked with uncovering a forgotten medieval wall painting in the local church, Birkin forms an unexpected bond with fellow war survivor Charles Moon, who seeks to locate a village ancestor's grave.

'That night, for the first time during many months, I slept like the dead and, next morning, awoke very early.' One summer, just after the Great War, Tom Birkin, a demobbed soldier, arrives in the village of Oxgodby. He has been invited to uncover and restore a medieval wall painting in the local church. At the same time, Charles Moon - a fellow damaged survivor of the war - has been asked to locate the grave of a village ancestor. As these two outsiders go about their work of recovery, they form a bond, but they also stir up long dormant passions within the village. What Berkin discovers here will stay with him for the rest of his life . . . 'Carr has the magic touch to re-enter the imagined past.' Penelope Fitzgerald
