A Month in the Country is for those readers looking for a short read.

Of course, the reader feels like running away to the nearest village and hugging the trees. He begins to believe in people, nature and himself again. Birkin, who has left behind a marriage and the horror of war, explores the beauties of the countryside while revealing the medieval picture. Birkin settles in his not-so-glamorous temporary home to restore a newly emerged medieval work of art in this lush and charming Yorkshire village.

A Month in the Country also became one of my favourite books and once again showed me how the countryside slowly gets under people’s skin.Ī Month in the Country begins with Tom Birkin going to Oxgodby after the war. I have always wanted to live in a rural place for as long as I can remember, and that’s why I can say that I automatically love any book set in a rural location. A Month in the Country sounded pretty romantic and attractive because of its name, frankly.
