Toby's Room: Pat Barker

From the Booker Prize-winning and Women`s Prize-shortlisted author of The Silence of the Girls

The second novel in Pat Barker`s acclaimed `Life Class` trilogy - a dark and compelling examination of desire, friendship and the horror of war, from one of our greatest writers on war and the human heart

When Toby is reported `Missing, Believed Killed`, another secret casts a lengthening shadow over Elinor`s world: how exactly did Toby die - and why? Elinor determines to uncover the truth. Only then can she finally close the door to Toby`s room. Moving from the Slade School of Art to Queen Mary`s Hospital, where surgery and art intersect in the rebuilding of the shattered faces of the wounded, Toby`s Room is a riveting drama of identity, damage, intimacy and loss.
