Regeneration by Pat Barker

4.0

---

Review - I did love how at least some of the characters are very real, and that their works are known the world over - Sassoon, Owen and Graves are notable examples. It added something tangible and almost touchable to the story. It is at times confusing. I do think, however, that the idea of shell shock could have been gone into more thoroughly, along with the reasons behind Sassoon's protest. Overall, though, a good read.
