VIRTUAL & IN-PERSON MEETING

A Month in the Country by J.L. Carr

In the summer of 1920 two men meet in the quiet English countryside. One is a war survivor, living in a church and trying to uncover and restore a historical wall-painting. The other is also a war survivor who is camping in the next field and searching for a lost grave. Out of their meeting comes a deeper connection with both the landscape and with history, along with a renewed belief in the future. Carr's 5th novel was longlisted for the 1980 Booker Prize for Fiction.

Moderated by Readers Advisory Librarian Cindy Haiken. For details about meeting virtually or in-person, contact Cindy Haiken at chaiken@wallingfordlibrary.org.
