Add a CommentThis should be read as the conclusion of the trilogy which begins in Regeneration and continues in The Eye in the Door. I think you'd miss too much if you read it alone. The entire trilogy is one of the best things I've ever read. It's moving, thoughtful and intelligent. The characters are British men - several of them poets (Siegfried Sassoon, Wilfred Owen), several of them gay - who fight in WWI and end up in a hospital being treated for shell shock. In the 1st book, the gov't is trying to paint Sassoon as unbalanced for his opposition to the war; still, he prefers facing the danger of the trenches with the men he leads to the hypocrisy he sees at home. The psychologist is a really interesting figure with a backstory of life in the south seas. Caring relationships, moral dilemmas, horrors of war, government manipulation, all beautifully written.
Depressing and really didn't catch with me.
