Set before and during the great war, "Birdsong" captures the drama of that era on both a national and a personal scale. It is the story of Stephen, a young Englishman, who arrives in Amiens in 1910. His life goes through a series of traumatic experiences, from the clandestine love affair that tears apart the family with whom he lives, to the unprecedented experiences of the war itself.

I have just finished reading this book for the second time and I am in love with it even more the second time around. It is beautifully written and deals with the horrors of the Great War in a way as to not romanticise or glorify it, but by dealing with the emotions and the friendships at the front. Faulk's prose is stunning and takes you on a journey with the characters. I urge anyone to read it.
Stunning
