Book Reviews of A Month in the Country (New York Review Books Classics)
Book Review: Poignant, Memorable,Affecting
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the few works of fiction that I have returned to on several occasions over the years.I will leave the synopsis to others who have more than adequantly reviewed the tale, but would add that in my view - being capable of being read in a couple of hours - it lends itself perfectly to a cosy winter's afternoon beside the fire, or ( for me ) is ideal for taking into the country on a Summers day, finding a quiet corner of a pleasant meadow and whiling away time. I recall that some years ago this book was made into a film which, given the actors involved - including Kenneth Branagh and Colin Firth, does perhaps speak volumes for the strength of the story. In short, this is a little gem, wonderfully observed and beautifully controlled.
