An easy to read novel. Great story. Birdsong is a book you will read in a couple of sittings and pick it up next year on holiday and read it over again.

This is on the reading list for AS level English Literature in 2010, and I have read this over the holidays in order to be prepared for the new term.
Set in pre-war France - Stephen, an independant minded young Englishman, falls in love with Isabel, a married French woman. Through circumstance, Stephen finds himself without his love on the battlefields and trenches of the Somme, where the conditions push him to the very limits of human endurance.
Sebastian Faulks has created a masterpiece of literature, about an absolutely desolate period, allowing the audience to feel part of the absolute horror and occasionally poignancy of the First World War. -

Set before and during the great war, this work 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 to the unprecedented experiences of the war itself.

TheBookPeople
Now a successful BBC drama, Sebastian Faulks' Birdsong is a must read for anyone with an interest in history, especially due to the way it describes the anguish of love and war in vivid detail. Telling the story of young Englishman Stephen Wraysford, the stunning novel follows the strange and bitter man on his journey to Picardy, France, to learn about the textile business. While there, he plunges into a love affair with the wife of his host that changes him forever. His journey continues onto the Western Front as a soldier during World War I, although Stephen still manages to find hope and meaning even in this situation. Sixty years later, his granddaughter discovers, and keeps, Stephen's promise to a dying man.
