A haunting novel about art and its power to heal, J. L. Carr's A
Month in the Country published as a Penguin Essential for the first
time. '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 .
