- A Month in the Country is the fourth novel by J. L. Carr, first published in 1980 and nominated for the Booker Prize. The book won the Guardian Fiction Prize in 1980. The plot concerns a World War I veteran employed to uncover a mural in a village church that was thought to exist under coats of whitewash. At the same time another veteran is employed to look for a grave beyond the churchyard walls. There is prevalent religious symbolism throughout the book, mainly dealing with judgment. Many of the incidents in the novel are based on real events in Carr's own life, and some of the characters are modelled on his own Methodist family. (The jacket illustration shows Tintagel Parish Church whereas the story is set in Yorkshire. The grave outside the churchyard wall was suggested by Tintagel where a number of early graves were encountered at Trecarne Lands and excavated. ) The novel is a set book as a part of some secondary school English courses. The story was made into a 1987 film, directed by Pat O'Connor and starring Colin Firth, Kenneth Branagh, Natasha Richardson and Patrick Malahide. The adaptation from the novel was by Simon Gray.
- Un mese in campagna è un film del 1987 diretto da Pat O'Connor, tratto dall'omonimo romanzo di Joseph Lloyd Carr. È stato presentato nella sezione Un Certain Regard al 40° Festival di Cannes.
