Pat Barker's 'Regeneration Trilogy', – ' Regeneration, The Eye In The Door' and ' The Ghost Road' – interweaving fact and fiction, characters historical and imagined, wry humour and harrowing observation, tells not so much the familiar story of the horror of the trenches, but rather of the psychological damage the Great War inflicted not only on the nation's doomed youth but on that entire generation which also served.

The trilogy has won Pat Barker the 1993 'Guardian Fiction Prize', the 1995 Booker Prize and acclaim as the Booksellers' Association Author of the Year.

Regeneration: a really good read & a very different way of looking at the effects of the first world war. I enjoyed the book much more than the TV adaptation that was on a few months ago.

The Eye in the Door - it was good to catch up with the characters from the first part of this trilogy. The invisible damage that war can do.

The Ghost Road: The final part in the trilogy which I've found totally absorbing.
