A review by mrjwathen
Birds Without Wings by Louis de Bernières

4.0

Not quite as wacky some of his other tomes. As ever, the characterisations are larger than life and their stories have chapters devoted to them, although their lives are all interwoven (occasionally only by loose geographical or political association).
The tales from the Turkish (Ottoman) lines during the Battle of Gallipoli were particularly graphic and interesting given that it is from a point of view rarely heard in Western European history.
If you are a fan of LDB then you'll love this.
