After reading Sassoon’s Memoirs of a Fox Hunting Man and Graves’ Goodbye to All That, I found Regeneration a fascinating, easy read. It’s “quiet” for a war novel, which makes the war seem even louder. I enjoyed the glimpse into the lives of the women and people left at home. It had a new perspective and new insights to give into a story that I’ve read over and over in WW1 literature.

The sheer quality of writing itself is so visual and vivid. Absolutely amazing. Im a big Wilfred Owen fan so it was really nice to 'see' him, if that makes sense. A great read and a welcome break from all the fantasy ive been into recently.

Having read In Memoriam by Alice Winn and subsequently the poetry of Owen, Graves and especially Sassoon, I was so excited for this novel.
Sadly it didn‘t really catch me. Maybe because it‘s based on real people‘s lives and thus the author didn’t want to interpret too much but I felt it fell rather short on the emotions and thoughts these men (the women were portrayed rather more roundly imo) were bound to have experienced.
In parts the novel rather read like a play but I must say in that terms, I liked Not About Heroes better.
Maybe I‘m being unfair and have overlooked something essential? Please let me know!
