About this eBook
The Booker Prize-winning final novel in Pat Barker's classic 'Regeneration' trilogy - from the acclaimed author of The Silence of the Girls
'An extraordinary tour de force. One of the few real masterpieces of late twentieth-century British fiction' Jonathan Coe
'Powerful, deeply moving... A triumph' Sunday Times
'Harrowing, original, unforgettable' Independent
1918, the closing months of the war. Army psychiatrist William Rivers is increasingly concerned for the men who have been in his care - particularly Billy Prior, who is about to return to combat in France with young poet Wilfred Owen. As Rivers tries to make sense of what, if anything, he has done to help these injured men, Prior and Owen await the final battles in a war that has decimated a generation. The Ghost Road is a vivid and unforgettable account of the devastating final months of the First World War.
