Sassoon didn’t want to talk about the nightmares. He was feeling distinctly cheerful. Exactly the same feeling he had had on board ship going to France, watching England slide away into the mist. No doubts, no scruples, no agonizing, just a straightforward, headlong retreat towards the front.

Welcome to the final week, week 7, of a slow read of Regeneration by Pat Barker. I am your guide, Simon Haisell, and this is Footnotes & Tangents, a book group where we take our time to live inside great stories.
Each week, I offer you my footnotes and tangents. You will have your own, and I encourage everyone to treat the slow read as an opportunity to explore, reflect and create. You can join the discussion in the comments to let us know what caught your eye or ask the group any questions you may have. And if you’ve tumbled down a rabbit hole or taken your reading off on a tangent, please share where you have been and what you have found.
This week, we are finishing Regeneration by reading the last four chapters. On my website, there is a reading schedule and a page of further resources.
