    About this product

    Product Information

    A sensitive portrayal of the healing process that took place in the aftermath of the First World War, J.L. Carr's A Month in the Country includes an introduction by Penelope Fitzgerald, author of Offshore, in Penguin Modern Classics. A damaged survivor of the First World War, Tom Birkin finds refuge in the quiet village church of Oxgodby where he is to spend the summer uncovering a huge medieval wall-painting. Immersed in the peace and beauty of the countryside and the unchanging rhythms of village life he experiences a sense of renewal and belief in the future. Now an old man, Birkin looks back on the idyllic summer of 1920, remembering a vanished place of blissful calm, untouched by change, a precious moment he has carried with him through the disappointments of the years. Adapted into a 1987 film starring Colin Firth, Natasha Richardson and Kenneth Branagh, A Month in the Country traces the slow revival of the primeval rhythms of life so cruelly disorientated by the Great War.

      Just arrived. EBay gets nervous when you don't leave feedback, but some deliveries take longer than others. No complaints, this one did make the expected delivery window, so I think Ebay's auto system is a bit over zealous with its reminders. This is a new CD (Jim Byrnes long hot summer days) had superb packaging. Value-wise, I say this CD is a great collection of true musicianship, it sums up a whole career of solid quality. I highly commend this seller who I use quite often. Top marks.

    • Could not read

      Unfortunately I can't give an opinion on the content of the book as I was unable to read it. The font is 10 point Postscript Garamond, which is too small for the average person to read comfortably. I suppose it is a cost-cutting device to make the print so small that they save a few pages.
