内容简介：
Tom Birkin is a broken man. Haunted by his experience in the trenches of World War I and recovering from a divorce. Birkin accepts a job restoring a medieval mural of the Apocalypse in a church located in a remote corner of Yorkshire. It is here, however, that Birkin makes a friend or two, falls secretly in love with the vicar's wife, and though alone with only an interpretation of the world's end for company, learns to live again.
