Description

The Ghost Road by Pat Barker A vivid and unforgettable account of the devastating final months of the First World War, this novel follows Army psychiatrist William Rivers as he struggles to make sense of his role in helping injured soldiers. Against the backdrop of the war's closing stages, Billy Prior and young poet Wilfred Owen prepare for their final battles. As the war decimates a generation, Rivers' concerns grow for the men in his care, including Prior and Owen. The Ghost Road is a powerful exploration of the human cost of conflict and the impact on those who serve. The final novel in Pat Barker's Regeneration Trilogy, this book is a deeply moving and original work that has been hailed as one of the few real masterpieces of late twentieth-century British fiction.
