A review by monicajosephine
Birds Without Wings by Louis de Bernières

3.0

I learned a lot about parts of World War I that I had never heard about before. I also really liked the way this book was written from various points of view and with different chapters focusing on historical events while others were focused on the personal dramas. Overall a really interesting read. My only complaint was of the somewhat gruesome and graphic descriptions of the terrible things people do to each other in times of war. I understand the importance of conveying these atrocities, but found it difficult to deal with personally.
