Un romanzo inquietante sull'arte e il suo potere curativo, A Month in the Country di JL Carr è stato pubblicato per la prima volta come Penguin Essential. 'Quella notte, per la prima volta dopo molti mesi, ho dormito come un morto e, la mattina dopo, mi sono svegliato molto presto'. Un'estate, subito dopo la Grande Guerra, Tom Birkin, un soldato smobilitato, arriva nel villaggio di Oxgodby. È stato invitato a scoprire e restaurare un dipinto murale medievale nella chiesa locale. Nello stesso periodo, a Charles Moon, un altro sopravvissuto danneggiato dalla guerra, è stato chiesto di localizzare la tomba di un antenato del villaggio. Mentre questi due estranei si dedicano al loro lavoro di recupero, creano un legame, ma risvegliano anche passioni a lungo sopite all'interno del villaggio. Ciò che Berkin scopre qui rimarrà con lui per il resto della sua vita.
