Birdsong: A Novel of Love and War (French Trilogy Book 2)

#1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER * A mesmerising story of love and war spanning three generations and the unimaginable gulf between the First World War and the 1990s. In this "overpowering and beautiful novel" (The New Yorker) , 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.
