Product Description
In "Another World" by Pat Barker, Booker-prize winning author of "The Ghost Road", the lingering effects of war cast a dark spell over the generations. Nick's grandfather Geordie lies dying, and as Nick watches, Geordie starts to relive the horrors surrounding his brother's death and his own terrible experiences during the First World War. Meanwhile, Nick and his wife Fran are trying to unite their increasingly fractious young family, despite the discovery of an obscene Victorian drawing which reveals the tragic history of their house and casts a terrifying shadow over the family. Another World is yet another compelling offering from Pat Barker. "Without question the best novel I have read this year". (Val Hennessy, "Daily Mail"). "Strong and devastating". (Carol Birch, "The Times Literary Supplement"). "Intensely feeling". (Helen Dunmore, "The Times"). "One of the best things she has ever done, surely the most moving". (Ruth Rendell, "Sunday Times"). "Heartbreaking...quite brilliant". (Adam Piette, "Evening Standard"). Pat Barker was born in 1943. Her books include the highly acclaimed "Regeneration" trilogy, comprising "Regeneration", which has been filmed, "The Eye in the Door", which won the Guardian Fiction Prize, and "The Ghost Road", which won the Booker Prize. The trilogy featured the "Observer's" 2012 list of the ten best historical novels. She is also the author of the more recent novels "Another World", "Border Crossing", "Double Vision", "Life Class", and "Toby's Room". She lives in Durham.
