Customer Reviews

Very useful book for me!
I haven't read all of this yet and it has a bit more information than I need actually, but it is very useful. There's a section on homosexuality which I handn't really thought about at all, and now I want to read the other books she's written about the War. Also, there's a good section at the end that gives you links to interviews with Pat Barker on the internet. If you want to do a really good essay on Regeneration, this is a helpful book. In fact, you have to pick bits of it, otherwise you won't be able to fit it all in.
