But more of that later.Įvery single one of these chapters is told from Paul’s point of view. Or, rather, he’s beginning to think he’ll never make it. The link with Double Vision is art: in that novel Kate is a sculptor in modern Britain, while in this one Paul is at the Slade and hoping to become an artist. The territory is familiar in a lot of other ways, but I’ll come back to those. The most obvious link with Regeneration is the period: although Barker never actually spells it out, we gather during these chapters that they’re taking place not long before the First World War. The first was Double Vision and… there are links between all of them. This is the second novel of Barker’s that I’ve read since I re-read the Regeneration trilogy.

She ended a twenty-four-generation struggle between Muslims and Christians, forcing North African invaders back over the Mediterranean Sea.
