Book Review: A treat for those who enjoy reading about the early 20th century
Summary: 5 Stars
Pat Barker's LIFE CLASS is a novel about artists caught up in the chaos of war and how they respond to it. The novel starts in 1914 with a group of art students at the Slade School of Art in London taking part in the life drawing class. When Slade professor Henry Tonks shows up to critique students' work, the main character (Paul Tarrant) storms out of the room.
Meticulously researched, this novel is really a study of relationships between people and what happens when those relationships are put through the cauldron of war. For those who love reading about this period of history, this novel is a treat, told by a person who has spent many years researching the subject matter. It is also very relevant to today's world where the US is fighting a war on two fronts.
