Birdsong is a novel about the tenderness and the limits of human
flesh, it is about men and women living at the edge. Set mostly in
France spanning the years before and during the First World War, it
captures the drama and destruction of that era as it tells the
story of Stephen, a young Englishman who is impelled through a
series of extreme experiences, from a traumatic clandestine love
affair which rips apart the bourgeois French family he lives with,
through grim insanity of the Great War. In the vast scenes of
suffering and the tender depiction of human love, Birdsong is at
times almost unbearably moving to read.
