About the book

Carr's A Month in the Country follows Tom Birkin, a traumatised veteran of the First World War who spends a summer in a small Yorkshire village restoring a medieval wall painting in a church. As he works in isolation, the landscape, local community and the painting itself gradually help him recover from the emotional effects of war. Quiet and deeply moving, the novel explores memory, loss, healing and the fleeting happiness found in ordinary moments.
