Rigenerazione by Pat Barker
Set during World War I in a military psychiatric hospital, the novel follows soldiers being treated for “shell shock” and the doctor who tries to heal them while confronting his own moral doubts. A rebellious officer who publicly denounces the war, a sensitive young poet struggling to process trauma, and a working-class soldier wrestling with identity and anger illuminate the psychological cost of modern warfare; through therapy sessions, hospital routines, and intimate flashbacks the narrative interrogates memory, masculinity, conscience and the ethics of psychiatric care.
