Another World by Pat Barker

I read this book in preparation for my English literature coursework where I was planning to do mentality after the war. Yes it did mention the degradation of the mind because of war but that was not its main purpose. And yes it was quite a good book. The book freaked me out. I should have interpreted from the cover that it was about ghosts but sometimes you try to deny the cover. I know they say "Don't judge a book by the cover" but you should have a look because it may have nothing to do with what you think but it was a thrilling book. I could not put it town as it kept me gripped from the moment I picked it up. However it is mainly a book about how the present intertwines with the past. I definitely recommend it but start reading it with an open mind. 

It is about an everyday family of a step brother, step sister, toddler and a child on the way and parents who move into an old house. The family is so ordinary which makes it hit home and many people can relate to them. Even if you don't want to. As they start re-decorating they find things they never wanted to unearth. I recommend that you definitely read it but don't read it in the dark! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
