Description:
EDITORIAL REVIEW: 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.
