Book Description
Birdsong : A Novel of Love and War
- Published to international critical and popular acclaim,
this intensely romantic yet stunningly realistic novel spans
three generations and the unimaginable gulf between the First
World War and the present. As the young Englishman Stephen
Wraysford passes through a tempestuous love affair with
Isabelle Azaire in France and enters the dark, surreal world
beneath the trenches of No Man's Land, Sebastian Faulks
creates a world of fiction that is as tragic as A Farewell
to Arms and as sensuous as The English Patient.
Crafted from the ruins of war and the indestructibility of
love, Birdsong is a novel that will be read and
marveled at for years to come.
