About this listen

Penguin presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Toby's Room, a dark, compelling novel of human desire, wartime horror and the power of friendship.

When Toby is reported 'Missing, Believed Killed', another secret casts a lengthening shadow over Elinor's world: How exactly did Toby die - and why? Elinor determines to uncover the truth. Only then can she finally close the door to Toby's room.

Moving from the Slade School of Art to Queen Mary's Hospital, where surgery and art intersect in the rebuilding of the shattered faces of the wounded, Toby's Room is a riveting drama of identity, damage, intimacy and loss. Toby's Room is Pat Barker's most powerful novel yet.

Narration

Lovely narration, particularly the female voices. Irritation at modern nuances of speech by the younger voices, “corrida”instead of “corridor” is just one example.
But worse was the narration of Henry Tonks, from which we have the artist’s technique of “tonking” or should this be written with a capital “T”?
Henry Tonks was born in 1862 and yet he sounds like a contemporary of Paul and Kit. This jarred for me. But this is hardly the fault of the chosen narrator. I do wish more care was taken by whomever decides on narrators.

But another very enjoyable book in this trilogy. I have other works in mind by Pat Barker when this trilogy is completed.
