A Month in the Country by J. L. Carr

A Month in the Country by J. L. Carr

Summer 1920. Tom Birkin arrives in a Yorkshire village with a stammer and a facial tic from the trenches, hired to uncover a medieval wall painting hidden under whitewash in the church. He sleeps in the belfry and works alone on the scaffold.

Nothing much happens. He becomes friends with an archaeologist digging in the next field, meets the vicar's wife, eats other people's food, and slowly stops flinching. Carr writes an entire recovery through one hot summer and the gradual appearance of a painted Judgement Day.

Under a hundred and forty pages, shortlisted for the Booker, and one of the most-loved short novels in English.
