Regeneration
by Pat Barker
I bought this book ages ago at Tattered Cover in Denver and it has sat on my shelf untouched for years. And I have no idea why. I think I bought it because it is the first in a trilogy, the last of which won the Booker, and y’all know how I feel about Booker books. Anyway, this book was also selected by the NYTimes as one of the 4 best novels of 1994. And? It was excellent! It is about British officers during WWI who are ordered a stay in a hospital, where they can address their emotional problems and go back to the front. Doesn’t sound exactly like a page turner, and the content was difficult at times, but I love the characters and felt that some of the issues were still timely today. While I might read something else next, I will certainly read the other two books in this series.
