This is absolutely addictive fiction which explores, among other equally controversial issues, the various personal, moral and social consequences of the Pacifist movement at the time of the Great War. It is particularly poignant relating the stories of War Poets, Seigfried Sassoon, and Wilfred Owen, sometimes using actual notes and biographically accurate depictions of their physicians and therapists, and the treatment processes. I couldn't wait to begin each succeeding volume!
Editor's Note: The Ghost Road won the 1995 Booker prize.
