Life Class by Pat Barker
Paul Tarrant's life as a volunteer for the Belgian Red Cross is a world away from his days at the Slade School of Art. The longer he remains in Ypres, the greater the distance between himself and home becomes, and by the time he returns, Paul must confront the fact that life, and love, will never be the same again.
