About this product

Product Information

A sensitive portrayal of the healing process that took place in the aftermath of the First World War, J.L. Carr's A Month in the Country includes an introduction by Penelope Fitzgerald, author of Offshore, in Penguin Modern Classics. A damaged survivor of the First World War, Tom Birkin finds refuge in the quiet village church of Oxgodby where he is to spend the summer uncovering a huge medieval wall-painting. Immersed in the peace and beauty of the countryside and the unchanging rhythms of village life he experiences a sense of renewal and belief in the future. Now an old man, Birkin looks back on the idyllic summer of 1920, remembering a vanished place of blissful calm, untouched by change, a precious moment he has carried with him through the disappointments of the years. Adapted into a 1987 film starring Colin Firth, Natasha Richardson and Kenneth Branagh, A Month in the Country traces the slow revival of the primeval rhythms of life so cruelly disorientated by the Great War.

  • Quick Read

    Richard Osman recommended this book - so I decided to buy a copy - it was ok to read but I would not recommend it to my friends/family. Sorry 😞

  • Month in the country

    A lovely gentle book. Short but beautifully written. So evocative of times gone by when the pace of life was so much slower. Highly recommended.

  • Buccolic tale

    Carr's snapshot of a traumatised ex-soldier's start along the healing process by a simple village project and its inhabitants is elegantly and engagingly written with good characterisation and observation.
