World War One's sexual and political dissenters are given voice in the winner of the 1993 Guardian Fiction Prize

London, 1918. Billy Prior is working for Intelligence in the Ministry of Munitions. But his private encounters with women and men - pacifists, objectors, homosexuals - conflict with his duties as a soldier, and it is not long before his sense of himself fragments and breaks down.

The Eye in the Door is a heart-rending study of the contradictions of war and of those forced to live through it.
