Publisher's summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The masterful second novel in Pat Barker's classic Regeneration trilogy - from the Booker Prize-winning and Women's Prize-shortlisted author of The Silence of the Girls.
Winner of the 1993 Guardian Fiction Prize.
London, 1918. Billy Prior is working for Intelligence in the Ministry of Munitions. But his private encounters with women and men - pacifists, objectors, homosexuals - conflict with his duties as a soldier, and it is not long before his sense of himself fragments and breaks down. Forced to consult the man who helped him before - army psychiatrist William Rivers - Prior must confront his inability to be the dutiful soldier his superiors wish him to be. The Eye in the Door is a heart-rending study of the contradictions of war and of those forced to live through it.
