"Unforgettable. . . . Toby's Room takes large risks . . . and it succeeds brilliantly." --The New York Times Book Review
"Breathtakingly good. . . . Barker has written extensively about the Great War . . . yet she's still coming at it in fresh, powerful ways. This is a writer truly at the height of her powers, and it's a dizzying height indeed." --The Toronto Star "Barker has shown again that she is not only a fine chronicler of war but of human nature." --The Independent (London) "Haunting and complicated sibling love is at the heart of [this] novel. . . . The precision of Ms. Barker's writing shows her again to be one of the finest chroniclers of . . . the First World War." --The Wall Street JournalA masterfully written World War I-era novel about the secrets between a brother and sister, from the Booker Prize-winning author of the Regeneration Trilogy.
It is 1917, and Elinor Brooke, a young painter, is studying art in London while her beloved brother Toby serves on the front as a medical officer. When Toby goes missing and is presumed dead, the devastated Elinor refuses to accept it. Then she finds a letter hidden among his belongings; it reveals that Toby knew he wasn’t coming back and implies that his friend, medic Kit Neville, knows why. But Kit has been horribly disfigured and is reeling from shell shock. While Elinor tries to piece together the mystery of what happened to her brother, she uses her drawing skills to aid in the surgical reconstruction of those who have suffered unspeakable losses—of their faces, their memories, their very minds.
