Eye in the Door by Pat Barker, hardback sequel to the award-winning Regeneration. I have a couple of related books 'on the go' (Sassoon poetry, and another Barker), so this couldn't be better timing?

I'm co-opting this book into an online journal/booklist from 2003 (not complete), taken from a bit of research and some rough notes that i've found.

My first ever BC release!

11/03/03 - The Accidental Tourist by Anne Tyler

(And fast-forward to the end of the year, on holiday in Australia and New Zealand via releases in Heathrow and Bangkok - dates from journal entries or release dates, whichever is earlier)

25/07/03 - The Idea of Perfection Kate Grenville

11/10/03 - 84, Charing Cross Roadby Helen Hanff

16/12/03 - Catch me if you can by Frank W. Abagnale
