Book ID/图书代码： 00200007B13157
English Summary/英文概要： It is spring, in 1914. A group of students at the Slade School of Art have gathered for a life-drawing class. Paul Tarrant is easily distracted by an intriguing fellow student, Elinor Brooke, but when Kit Neville - himself not long out of the Slade but already a well-known painter - makes it clear that he, too, is attracted to Elinor, Paul withdraws into a passionate affair with an artist’s model. As spring turns to summer, Paul and Elinor each reach a crisis in their relationships until finally, in the first few days of war, they turn to each other. Paul’s new life as a volunteer for the Belgian Red Cross is a world away from his days at the Slade. 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.

Reviews
D. J. Taylor, The Guardian
“As ever with Barker…the writing is breathtaking…sharply written and elegantly constructed.”
Mark Bostridge, The Independent
“With great tenderness and insight, and a daring to forgo simple resolutions, Barker conveys a wartime world turned upside down.”
People
“Beautiful and evocative . . . a coming-of-age story that transcends the individual and gestures to the fate of a generation.”
Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
“Life Class possesses organic power and narrative sweep. . . . Barker conjures up the hellish terrors of the war and its fallout with meticulous precision.”
San Francisco Chronicle
“Here, as in her best fiction, Barker unveils psychologically rich characters. . . and resists the trappings of a neat love story, reminding us once again that in art and life we remain infinitely mysterious.”
Seattle Times
“A book so alive from page to page that it’s difficult to put down.”
