1910. Amiens, Northern France. Stephen Wraysford, a young Englishman, arrives in the French city to stay with the Azaire family. He falls in love with unhappily married Isabelle and the two enter a tempestuous love affair. But, with the world on the brink of war, the relationship falters. With his love for Isabelle forever engraved on his heart, Stephen volunteers to fight on the Western Front and enters the unimaginable dark world beneath the trenches of No Man’s Land. From award-winning writer Sebastian Faulks, Birdsong is an exceptionally moving and unforgettable portrait of the ruthlessness of war and the indestructability of love.

Sending as a wishlist RABCK.

How very kind of you to send a wishlist book with the South bookring - thank you very much! :)

This took me ages to get into, but when I did, it is just the most amazing book. Stephen Wraysford travels to France as a young man in 1910 and embarks on a love affair. The story then follows him through World War One, in the same part of France, with vivid and detailed descriptions of life in the trenches and its effect on the human spirit. I don't think I will ever think of the war in quite the same way again and am really glad I read this.
