I read this for my local book club and I can imagine when we meet in February this book is going to make for great discussion. This is a powerful novel, and certainly not for the faint hearted. Set before and during the Great War, Birdsong tells the story of Stephen, starting in pre-war France and taking us right through the war and through a terrible period of history.įaulks delivers a moving and shocking account of Stephen and his love affair and the trials and hardships of trench life and it seems as though at times you are seeing this all through the characters eyes. A novel that manages to create a passionate and erotic love story combined with the horrors of war. Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks is a moving, passionate, shocking, thought provoking and heartbreaking novel. ![]()
