Pat Barker's "Regeneration", the inaugural instalment of her Booker Prize-winning trilogy, stands as a searing contemporary classic in the realm of war literature. Shortlisted for the Women's Prize, this novel offers a profoundly moving exploration of the enduring impact of human trauma during the Great War.

Set in Scotland's Craiglockhart War Hospital in 1917, the narrative follows army psychiatrist William Rivers as he tends to shell-shocked soldiers. Among his patients are the renowned poets Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen, alongside the mute Billy Prior, who can only express himself through writing. Rivers' duty is to rehabilitate these men for combat, yet as he delves deeper into healing their minds, the moral quandary of returning them to the front line's horrors intensifies.

Hailed as "brilliant, intense and subtle" by The Sunday Times, and lauded by The Guardian as the work of "one of the strongest and most interesting novelists of her generation", "Regeneration" masterfully examines how the brutalities of war scarred an entire generation of young men. This unforgettable tale serves as the cornerstone of Barker's acclaimed trilogy, which continues with "The Eye in the Door" and concludes with "The Ghost Road".

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
