  • "This is the second installation of Pat Barker's acclaimed and haunting historical fiction trilogy about British soldiers traumatized by World War I trench warfare and the methods used by psychiatrist William Rivers to treat them."@en
  • "The Eye in the Door was the richly deserving winner of the 1993 Guardian Fiction Prize, the second volume in Pat Barker's brilliant Regeneration Trilogy. Written with immense power, it is the story not just of one young man suffering from the trauma of war, but from a generation, condemned to the unending slaughter of the trenches, and all the charged agony of class and gender that had its own bitter harvest. But for all the pain she portrays, Barker's novel, with its wry humour and exquisite observation, explodes with life."
  • "In this second volume of the trilogy which opened with 'Regeneration', the year is 1918. In a climate of exhaustion and hysteria in which the war grinds wearily to its close, pressures to fall into line, for both military and civilians alike, become fierce and take ugly forms. Prior is working as an Intelligence Officer in London. His concern is the enemy within, though a clear definition of who is that enemy is harder to come by than he might have expected."
  • "PLAYAWAY. In this second volume of the trilogy which opened with 'Regeneration', the year is now 1918. The setting has shifted from Scotland and Craiglockhart to an England suffering shortages, grey bread and meagre clothes. In this climate of exhaustion and hysteria amidst which the war grinds wearlily to its close, pressures to fall into line for both military and civilians alike become fierce and take ugly forms. Sassoon is again in hospital after his return to France and Prior is now based in London."
  • "Near the end of World War I and faced with defeat, the British government and a vengeful public targets pacifists and homosexuals as scapegoats. Many are jailed or forced to lead double lives as "the eye in the door" symbolizes the paranoia threatening to unravel the fabric of British society."@en
  • "In this sequel to Regeneration, the year is 1918, and one of Sassoon's fellow patients, is now in London, working as an Intelligence Officer, and his concern is the enemy within, but a clear definition of who the enemy actually is, is harder to come by than he might have imagined."@en
  • "London 1918, Prior is now working as an intelligence officer. His concern is the enemy within, although a clear definition of who exactly is the enemy is harder to come by than he might have expected."@en
  • "It is 1918, and Prior is in London working as an intelligence officer. His concern is the enemy within - though a clear definition of who exactly the enemy is proves harder to come by than he might have imagined."
