China Dawn

A Booker Prize-winning literary masterpiece from Pat Barker, exploring the dirty, glorious, and horrifying reality of the First World War. This heart-rending omnibus brings together Regeneration, The Eye in the Door, and The Ghost Road. Seen through the eyes of army psychologist William Rivers and damaged soldier Billy Prior, it chronicles the final two years of the war. As Rivers struggles to heal traumatized men—including the poet Siegfried Sassoon—only to see them sent straight back to the front, Barker crafts a devastating vision of an entire generation brutalized by the horrors of the trenches.

Anna Blair, author of best-selling Tea at Miss Cranston's, has written 22 short stories, with very different settings: some in her native Scotland, some in Malaysia where she lived for a few years and others from North America where she has grandchildren. Some of her Scottish stories have a historical context, but most of the stories were prompted by some incident or encounter which left her wondering what might have led up to it, or what might follow. The stories are often deeply touching, but her gentle sense of humour prevents them becoming sentimental. The varied geographical and cultural settings add a richness to the collection.
