'[A] brilliant novel...at its centre is a real-life encounter that occurred at Craiglockhart in 1917 between W.H.R. Rivers, an army psychologist, and Siegfried Sassoon...Intense and subtle, getting responsively under the skin of both real and imagined characters, Regeneration is receptive to all aspects of the era - and the heroes - it resurrects' Peter Kemp, Sunday Times
'The year is now 1918 . . . In the climate of exhaustion and hysteria amid which the war is wearing to its close, pressures to fall into line become fierce and take ugly forms. At the forefront of her story, Barker places figures especially menaced by this: pacifists, conscientious objectors and homosexuals . . . a sequel every bit as unwaveringly intense and intelligent as its predecessor' Peter Kemp, Sunday Times
