Short, a novel that reads like poetry, a wonderful piece of writing.
A survivor of WWI trench warfare, after the war, still in recovery, gets a project to uncover a medieval fresco in a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire. It's a Summer's work. And it's so much more.
It's about trauma, about being in the presence of great art, about history and transience. And it's funny, on top of everything else.
Just read it.
