Title: by Jessica Chang
Product review: I found Regeneration to be an extremely enjoyable book and i highly recommend it. Pat Barker does a wonderful job tying together bits of history with fictional characters to form a piece of historical fiction surrounding Dr. River's experiences at Craiglockhart. It was particularly interesting to see what was considered to be mentally unstable in the early 1900s - such as homosexuality or opposing war. Barker's use of Yaelland's treatment for Callan served as a great contrast to River's treatment for Prior, letting the reader know that not all doctors were as considerate or personal as Rivers. In the end River's interestingly finds that not only has he influenced his patients but the patients have changed his ways of thinking as well.
