“A Month in the Country” by J. L. Carr

Published in 1980, A Month in the Country is a poignant novella set in the summer of 1920. It follows Tom Birkin, a World War I veteran recovering from shell shock and a broken marriage, as he spends a transformative month in a quiet Yorkshire village to restore a medieval church wall painting.

Book Club events are available both in person at the association of Retired Faculty office (300 Hammond Pond Parkway, Newton), and via Zoom (visit laurel.eisenhauer@bc.edu for details).
