Pat Barker (2012 event)

Her books include the highly acclaimed Regeneration trilogy:
Regeneration (made into a film of the same name), The Eye in the
Door (winner of the Guardian Fiction Prize) and The Ghost Road
(winner of the Booker Prize). She came to Edinburgh to unveil her
latest story, Toby's Room, the sequel to her acclaimed novel Life
Class. Toby is 'missing, believed killed' on the battlefields of
France, but his sister begins to question how he died – and why.
Pat Barker's unforgettable stories highlight the emotional
traumas of the First World War and her new book is a dark,
compelling story of human desire, wartime horror and the power of
friendship. She discusses her work with acclaimed broadcaster and
journalist Allan Little in this event, recorded live at the 2012
Edinburgh International Book Festival.
