Regeneration by Pat Barker
5.0

Ostensibly about Siegfried Sassoon's time in a hospital for the shell-shocked, this novel touches on much more. Psychiatric treatments in the 1910s, social class, the many and varied horrors of war, pacifism, sexuality & gender, war poetry, the ethics of war & the ethics of treating people with the intent of sending them back to war. Ultimately immersive and very affecting.
