Description
Brought to you by Penguin.
The masterful second novel in Pat Barker's classic Regeneration trilogy - from the Booker Prize-winning and Women's Prize-shortlisted author of The Silence of the Girls.
Winner of the 1993 Guardian Fiction Prize.
London, 1918. Billy Prior is working for Intelligence in the Ministry of Munitions. But his private encounters with women and men - pacifists, objectors, homosexuals - conflict with his duties as a soldier, and it is not long before his sense of himself fragments and breaks down. Forced to consult the man who helped him before - army psychiatrist William Rivers - Prior must confront his inability to be the dutiful soldier his superiors wish him to be. The Eye in the Door is a heart-rending study of the contradictions of war and of those forced to live through it.

Same high standards as volume 1
Barker's exploration of this fascinating period of British history continues, with many of the same characters and issues. The most notable new issues added to the mix are the trials surrounding sodomy, Wilde, Salome, and Pemberton Billings, on the one hand, and domestic surveillance by military authorities of civilians, on the other. Barker astutely merges this material with the existing study of the war and psychoanalysis.
An excellent sequel to Regeneration, and I turn now with enthusiasm to the final book, The Ghost Road.
