Sten#AdventOfBooks 2024 day 5: Regeneration by Pat Barker #Bookstodon
The (trueish) story of a mental institution in Scotland during WWI, where the resident psychiatrist treats PTSD soldiers, with the ultimate goal of getting them healed enough to return to the war.
The story roughly tracks (real) war poet Siegfried Sassoon's time at the hospital, after he's sent there for an anti-war protest, and chronicles his relationship with Wilfred Owen, and the genesis of Owen's *Anthem for Doomed Youth*
