In the summer of 1920 two men, both war survivors meet in the quiet English countryside. One is living in the church, intent upon uncovering and restoring an historical wall painting while the other camps in the next field in search of a lost grave.Out of their meeting comes a deeper communion and a catching up of the old primeval rhythms of life so cruelly disorientated by the Great War.

A Month in the Country

In the summer of 1920, a young man escapes London to embark on the unveiling of a medieval church wall painting in a small north country village. As he becomes absorbed by his work so too does he get drawn into the lives of those around him.

I must admit that I am glad I’m finally done with this book. 

Even tho it’s so short I definitely spent longer than a month in the country. 

Maybe it’s the old fashioned writing style I’m not used to or idk I just expected a little… more (also you can’t tell me he wasn’t Totally crushing on Moon but then in the last pages he wants to pretend to love the Preacher’s wife - sorry but I didn’t buy it lol) 

It’s not bad but it’s also not amazing.
