A Month in the CountryIn 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

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.

Mediocre mens shirt
Material feels great, however the product doesn’t hold up to laundry when following the instructions. The process makes it acceptable, you can get maybe 6 wears out of it before it makes a great Buffy cloth for waxing car

Good quality! Very fair price.
Color: White, Size: X-Large
Great quality!!! Good pricing as well. Normally buy LL Bean, these are half the price and will likely not shrink!!! Typically wear them under another sweater or shirt. Size fit good with exception of sleeves' which are at least 2 inches longer then most of my XL shirts...just rolled them over!!! Good look for sure!

Comfy Turtle Neck
Color: Light Blue, Size: Large
Very nice quality, soft and plush. Very tight turtle neck that holds its place without sagging. The sleeves are long enough to cover the wrist bone.
