The book I keep coming back to, it's one of the best books I've ever read. I've never met anyone who didn't love it
Richard Osman
I wanted to write A Month in the Country in space - a brief, lovely homage to the natural world, pastoral writing about how deeply humans respond to our natural environments and the relationship between beauty and survival. In the end (I guess inevitably) the two books bore very little resemblance, but I don't think Orbital would exist without it
Samantha Harvey, author of Orbital
Tender and elegant
Guardian
Unlike anything else in modern English Literature
D.J. Taylor, Spectator
Carr's blessedly small tale of lost love is also a small hymn about art and the compensating joy of the artist, both in giving and receiving. It stays with us, too, and is oddly haunting
New Yorker
Carr has the magic touch to re-enter the imagined past
Penelope Fitzgerald
