Description

The Eye in the Door by Pat Barker A heart-rending study of the contradictions of war and those forced to live through it. In this second novel of her Regeneration Trilogy, Pat Barker explores the complexities of human experience during World War I. Billy Prior's work for Intelligence in the Ministry of Munitions brings him into contact with pacifists, objectors, and homosexuals, forcing him to confront his own sense of self. As he struggles to reconcile his duties as a soldier with his growing awareness of the world around him, Prior is forced to seek the help of army psychiatrist William Rivers. This powerful novel is a thought-provoking exploration of the human cost of war, and the devastating effects it can have on those who fight and those who are left behind.
