The Regeneration TrilogyRegeneration--A sombre, brillant novel ... at its centre is a real-life encounter that occurred at Craiglockhart in 1917 between W.H.R. Rivers, and army psychologist, and Siegfried Sassoon ... Intense and subtle, getting responsively under the skin of both real and imagined characters. The Eye In The Door----a gripping, moving beautifully constructed and profoundly intelligent. It centres on the terrible trauma suffered by young First World War veterans, but is also about gender, calss, truth, survival and love. The Ghost Road----defies superlatives ... Barker's strong, descriptive prose, humane detachment, unflinching eye and probing explorations into the minds of men damaged by war has resulted in an atmospheric, unforgettable, valuable novle which brings to a close a trilogy demanding to be read by everyone. |
