  • Birdsong, Sebastian Faulks5

    Penny Cunningham A truely remarkable book, mainly about WW1 war in the trenches. Harrowing narrative about the fighting that went on and the sights the soldiers were forced to endure, such brave men just discarded on the battle field of the Somme.
    The book starts off by introducing us to Stephen the main character a young man that hasn't experienced much love or affection in his life, is in France, he is staying with a family there and falls in Love with the wife. It doesn't work out and he becomes a father, but doesn't know, as his lover (Isabelle leaves him!) We meet Stephen again as an officer at the Somme. Other Characters are introduced to get a balance of perspectives with different backgrounds and ranks. The story also comes full circles as we get to know Stephens Grand-daughter, who investigates his past.
    An excellent read, harrowing but truely exceptional. by Penny Cunningham

    Christina This book did take me a little while to get in to, but once I did, I absolutely loved it!!!

    This book is soo emotional at times, imagining yourself as Stephen through this horrible, devasting Great War. Their were many times when I shed a tear for the main character and the experiences that he had to face and live on with.

    Birdsong has made me understand why War Vetrans, including my own Grandfather, never forget their experience during WW1 and/or WW2.

    There are so many more things that I would love to say, but I am too afraid that I will dwell too much into the story and spoil it.

    All I want to say is that if you do find the book a tad boring at times, all I can say is PLEASE FINISH IT! It will be an absolute waste to not know the ending. by Christina
