Pat Barker

Pat Barker (born May 8, 1943) is an English writer and historian. She published her first novel, "Union Street", in 1982 and has since won critical acclaim for her First World War series, the "Regeneration" trilogy, a fictionalised account of the wartime experiences of the poets Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen, the psychiatrist W. H. R. Rivers, and the fictional protagonist, Lt. Billy Prior. The final book in the trilogy, "The Ghost Road", won the Booker Prize upon its publication.

In 1965 Barker completed a degree in international history at the London School of Economics [http://lse.ac.uk/collections/pressAndInformationOffice/aboutLSE/worldLeaders.htm] and subsequently studied at Durham University marrying David Barker, a now retired Zoology Professor at the institution. Their daughter Anna Ralph published her own novel "The Floating Island" (Hutchinson, ISBN 10: 0091795559) in 2007.
