A contemporary classic about unexpected love, for which time does not pass.
One rainy morning, Tom Birkin gets off at the train station in the small town of Oxgodby, carrying a map, a second-hand tweed coat, a carrycot and a folding tent bed for all his luggage. He is a survivor of the First Great War, his wife has abandoned him and he still carries the after-effects of his traumatic experiences in the trenches of France. That's why he's taken a job in the north: restoring a medieval mural in Oxgodby's church. Perhaps the quiet and simple environment will give him back that attachment to life that the past took away from him.
Little by little, Tom gets closer to the inhabitants of the place, to unique and unforgettable characters, friendship arises. And perhaps, too, love.
