Winner of the Booker Prize. A powerful and touching historical novel of the effects of war (WWI) on the individual and of one soldier's objection to the useless suffering and sacrifices caused by blundering commanders, and politicians. That soldier was the well-known poet Siegfried Sassoon who authorities decided to treat as 'shell-shocked' and sent him to a 'asylum rather then the damning publicity to the war which would result from a trial. This is the first book of her trilogy "The Eye in the Door" and "The Ghost Road"
