    Unputdownable
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 November 2017*

Noonday is the conclusion of Pat Barker's Life Class trilogy.  I'm a fan of both Pat Barker's work and war novels generally (probably as a result of reading the Regeneration trilogy years ago!) so I'd recommend reading all three books in order.This volume brings the characters forward to WWII.  At the beginning artist Elinor is in the country with her rather more straight-laced sister Rachel waiting and watching while their mother dies.  Barker handles the juxtaposition of this small domestic tragedy and the enormity of the blitz with sensitivity. Much of the action is set in London in the nighttime during the blackouts and air raids - Elinor's husband Paul is an air raid warden, while Elinor herself is an ambulance driver working alongside their old friend Kit Neville.  As fans of Barker's writing would expect, she brings this nightmare world to life, making the unimaginably horrific all too real.  Add to the mix a cheeky evacuee named Kenny and Bertha a medium, recently released from prison for charlatanism and you have all the ingredients for a novel I couldn't put down.

*by S***K on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 September 2016*

An excellent and absorbing book. Although I had read the first 2 novels in the trilogy several years ago I had no difficulty in following the thread of 'Noonday'. The descriptions of life in the blitz are some of the most powerful I have come across - Barker uses the minutiae, delicately described, to create a real sense of the growing horror. I recall London as a child, full of houses without walls, peering into the abandoned lives and bomb sites with rampant growth - but this book brought home what it must have been like to be alive when that destruction as happening. The total uncertainty, the exhaustion. It also seemed to be an especially pertinent time to be reading it as so many people in Syria are experiencing a similar or even greater level of destruction of their homes and livelihoods.

    A leap in time
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2017*

This is the final novel in Pat Barker's trilogy about a group of artists' lives and work during and between the two World Wars. I enjoyed the change  of time setting to England, particularly London, during the Blitz. However Pat Barker's forte is really the First World War, and I didn't find her depiction of this period as convincing as the earlier one (cf. Sarah Waters' 'The Night Watch'). It was interesting to learn about the later lives of the main characters (Elinor, Paul & Kit), and to gain a deeper understanding of their good and bad points, and in this respect it was worth having a third part to their story.  .
