Thank you to @vivastory for recommending this book to me months ago. It was a perfect book for me to read while i was severely anxious about my sons recovery from surgery (there were post surgical complications some 2 weeks after surgery - on the mend again now!). This novella about a young returned soldier restoring a church mural in a small village tells of his own restoration through art, nature & human connection. Just a quiet joy of a book.
