Description
Birdsong is a deeply moving and engrossing novel about love, death, and redemption. In the summer of 1910, a young Englishman named Stephen Wraysford arrives in France, where a secret passion emerges that threatens to destroy a household. Six years later, Stephen finds himself on the Western Front, fighting for everything he has known and loved in a desperate bid to survive.
As the battle rages on, Stephen's past and present collide in a maze of tunnels under the trenches. With civilization hanging in the balance, Stephen must confront the ultimate question: what does it mean to live, to love, and to die?
