A review by murakami96
Birds Without Wings by Louis de Bernières

3.0

It's a decent book that unfortunately falls into the pitfalls of having too much to say but not enough space nor focus to say it. The beginning is very engaging but the plot of the characters is often sacrificed for establishing historical context and conversely the historical context is often sacrificed when Mr Bernieres remembers to tug on the thread of the plot. All that being said it's a brilliant and very ambitious undertaking.
