The Regeneration Trilogy, Pat Barker

Including all three novels in one volume (Regeneration, The Eye in the Door, and The Ghost Road), Pat Barker's trilogy explores with gritty realism the whole dirty, glorious and horrifying business of war.

"Quite simply a masterpiece - a devastating, deeply moving account of the suffering of soldiers in the First World War and the effect of the war on those left behind at home ... Fiction of the highest order." (Sunday Express)
