The Regeneration Trilogy
At Craiglockhart War Hospital in Scotland, army psychiatrist William Rivers treats shell-shocked soldiers before sending them back to the front. In his care are poets Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen, and Billy Prior, who is only able to communicate by means of pencil and paper...
A sweeping masterpiece of British historical fiction and a devastating portrait of the effects of WWI.
Pat Barker's award-winning The Regeneration Trilogy—comprising Regeneration, The Eye in the Door and The Ghost Road—is the heart-rending story of the last two years of the First World War seen through the eyes of army psychologist William Rivers and damaged soldier Billy Prior.
As Rivers struggles with the responsibility of helping the men in his charge—including the traumatised poet Siegfried Sassoon—only to see them returned to the front, we see how an entire generation of young men was brutalised by the horrors of the trenches.
