Birdsong: A Novel of Love and War - Faulks, Sebastian

Birdsong: A Novel of Love and War by Faulks, Sebastian

Format: Paperback

Published by Vintage, 1997

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.
