Pat Barker is one of the masters of wartime fiction. Her award-winning Regeneration Trilogy revolutionised the genre and was an epic and devastating examination of post-traumatic stress disorder against the backdrop of trench warfare. Her 2013 release Toby's Room is a companion novel to her earlier book Life Class, though both books can be read independently of each other. Again using the First World War as its subject, this book's primary focus is on the relationship between war and art.
