The Ghost Road

Pat Barker's Booker Prize-winning masterpiece completes her haunting Regeneration Trilogy, following the final year of WWI through the eyes of poet and officer Wilfred Owen. Barker weaves between the Western Front's brutal trenches and a psychiatric hospital, blending historical figures with fiction in a devastating meditation on war, trauma, and the thin veil between the living and the dead. A deeply moving exploration of how violence reshapes the human psyche. Perfect for readers who love literary historical fiction with psychological depth.
