Tom Birkin, a war veteran, arrives in the village of Oxgodby to restore a medieval wall-painting in the local church. As he spends the summer immersed in the tranquil countryside and daily village life, he begins to heal from his wartime trauma. This period of reflection leads him to rediscover hope and a sense of belonging. The story explores themes of recovery and the impact of the Great War on individuals and communities. Now an old man, Birkin reminisces about that transformative summer in 1920 and its lasting influence on his life.
