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.
