A review by bluestarfish
Life Class by Pat Barker

3.0

Slade art students talk about art and life until the war intrudes/is upon them. The novel looks at how differently the characters respond to their changing circumstances, Elinor in London and Paul and Kit in Belgium working with the hospitals and ambulances delivering and receiving wounded soldiers. Pat Barker has a sure command of the language she uses with memorable images of the war front in particular.
