#1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER • A mesmerising story of love and war spanning three generations and the unimaginable gulf between the First World War and the 1990s

In this “overpowering and beautiful novel” (The New Yorker), 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.

“An overpowering and beautiful novel… Ambitious, outrageous, poignant, sleep-disturbing, Birdsong is not a perfect novel, just a great one.” –Simon Schama, New Yorker

“With Birdsong Faulks has produced a mesmerizing story of love and war… This book is so powerful that as I finished it I turned to the front to start again.” —Sunday Express

“Engrossing, moving, and unforgettable.” –The Times

“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
