Cape Cod Happening Book Club: January Selection
A New Year, many new beginnings and a new book club pick! Our choice for this month’s book club read is:
A Month In The Country by J.L. Carr
In J. L. Carr’s deeply charged poetic novel, Tom Birkin, a veteran of the Great War and a broken marriage, arrives in the remote Yorkshire village of Oxgodby where he is to restore a recently discovered medieval mural in the local church. Living in the bell tower, surrounded by the resplendent countryside of high summer, and laboring each day to uncover an anonymous painter’s depiction of the apocalypse, Birkin finds that he himself has been restored to a new, and hopeful, attachment to life. But summer ends, and with the work done, Birkin must leave. Now, long after, as he reflects on the passage of time and the power of art, he finds in his memories some consolation for all that has been lost.
~Amazon.com Description
As winter beckons and the cold air spreads over us, what better time to sink into your favorite chair and enjoy this compelling story about renewal.
Enjoy the book and look for some online discussions to follow later in the month! Feel free to comment if you have something you would like to share or discuss.
