AMBITIOUS, OUTRAGEOUS, POIGNANT, SLEEP-DISTURBING, BIRDSONG IS NOT A PERFECT NOVEL - JUST A GREAT ONE' Simon Schama, New Yorker
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. Over the course of the novel he suffers a series of traumatic experiences, from the clandestine love affair that tears apart the family with whom he lives, to the unprecedented experience of the war itself.
'One of the finest novels of the last forty years' Mail on Sunday
"This book is so powerful that as I finished it I turned to the front to start again'
Sunday Express
'Amazing...I have read it and re-read it and can think of no other novel for many, many years that has so moved me or stimulated in me so much reflection on the human spirit'
Daily Mail
'Literature at its very best. I urge you to read it'
Time Out
