The Eye in the Door

Set during the tumultuous spring of 1918, this second installment of the Regeneration Trilogy explores the turbulent social and personal upheavals faced by characters dealing with mental health, identity, and societal stigma amid wartime Britain. Through richly developed characters like Dr. William Rivers and Lieutenant Billy Prior, the novel delves into themes of paranoia, scapegoating, and covert lives in a society on the brink of chaos.
