‘Brilliant, intense and subtle’ Peter Kemp, Sunday Times. Set in Craiglockhart War Hospital, Scotland in 1917, Pat Barker’s Regeneration places army psychiatrist William Rivers at the centre of an impossible moral conflict: the closer he comes to healing his patients, the more clearly he sees the horror of sending them back to the front. Among those in his care are poets Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen, alongside the mute Billy Prior, who can only communicate through pencil and paper. The first novel in Barker’s Booker Prize-winning trilogy, Regeneration has become the definitive fictional reckoning with the psychological legacy of the First World War — and a devastating modern classic from the Women’s Prize-shortlisted author of The Silence of the Girls. ‘One of the strongest and most interesting novelists of her generation’ Guardian. ‘Unforgettable’ Sunday Telegraph. The Regeneration trilogy: Regeneration The Eye in the Door The Ghost Road
