In JL Carr's deeply poetic novel A Month in the Country, Tom Birkin takes refuge in the quiet village church of Oxgodby after the First World War, where he is to restore medieval wall paintings. Immersed in the peace and beauty of the countryside and the unchanging rhythms of village life, he tries to gain strength and energy, forget the horrors he has experienced and breathe new life into it. He gradually experiences a sense of renewal and faith in the future. Now, long after, he reflects on the passage of time and the power of art, finding some solace in his memories for all that has been lost.
