Tato trilogie se noří do brutálních realit první světové války, zkoumá trauma a psychologické jizvy, které válka zanechala na vojácích. Sledujeme osudy postav v drsných podmínkách válečné zóny, kde se musí potýkat s fyzickým i duševním utrpením. Série je silnou meditací o lidské odolnosti tváří v tvář nepředstavitelnému násilí a ztrátám. Nabízí pronikavý pohled na nejen válečný konflikt, ale i na jeho hluboké dopady na jedince.
'[A] brilliant novel...at its centre is a real-life encounter that occurred at Craiglockhart in 1917 between W.H.R. Rivers, an army psychologist, and Siegfried Sassoon...Intense and subtle, getting responsively under the skin of both real and imagined characters, Regeneration is receptive to all aspects of the era - and the heroes - it resurrects' Peter Kemp, Sunday Times
