What's on the Kindle - More Pat Barker

Whew! Just finished the second of Pat Barker's Regeneration trilogy "The Eye in the Door". This book picks up pretty much where the last one left off. It continues an unsentimental account of Dr Rivers and his WW1 psychiatric patients. The author continues to hold nothing back when describing the horrors of the war. The character, Billy Prior, is extraordinarily complex, but in the hands of this novelist, his story rings true. This novel brings into focus events surrounding pacifists and homosexuals and for me continues to highlight the stupidity of the 'establishment'. 

Your quote: "Soldiers home on leave had to be given an good time; they mustn't be allowed to remember what they were going back to, and this gave everybody else a magnificent excuse for never thinking about it at all"
