Birdsong

This incredibly romantic but amazingly realistic story, which covers three generations and the unfathomable distance between the First World War and the present, was published to widespread critical and popular acclaim on a global scale. Sebastian Faulks creates a world of fiction that is as sensuous as The English Patient and as tragic as A Farewell to Arms as the young Englishman Stephen Wraysford navigates a stormy love affair with Isabelle Azaire in France and enters the dark, surreal world beneath the trenches of No Man's Land. Birdsong is a book that will be read and admired for years to come. It is crafted from the remains of battle and the unbreakable power of love.
