Thanks for this reading list. I just read The Return of the Soldier by Rebecca West, Regeneration by Pat Barker and Philippe Claudel Les âmes grises (By A Slow River) plus Jacqueline Winspear The Mapping of Love and Death: A Maisie Dobbs novel. There is a strong common tread of despair at the front as well as the unbearable human cost of the war, not only for the dead and wounded but the people left behind.
