Winner of the 1995 Booker Prize. The concluding novel in Barker's 'Regeneration' trilogy, about British soldiers traumatized by World War I trench warfare and the methods employed by psychiatrist William Rivers (a historical figure), to treat them. "[A] startlingly good novel in its own right. With the other two volumes of the Regeneration trilogy, it forms one of the richest and most rewarding works of fiction of recent times." –Peter Parker, Times Literary Supplement
