The cover of a short Penguin Essentials booked called ‘a month in the country’ by JL Carr. Written in 1980 it is a short book based after the Great War and tells of a man who has survived the war and shell shock and has gone to the countryside to restore a painting in a church. It’s a beautiful story of a man finding peace with himself but there is still some longing which leaves the reader with some sadness at the end.
