Pat Barker is an English writer and novelist who is the recipient of many awards. The British Council notes that her work 'never makes for comfortable reading'. Her topics range with an "unflinching eye" over often taboo subjects. Her "obsession" with World War One has resulted in some of most acclaimed work, including the remarkable Regeneration Trilogy.
