emilyhames 's review for:

Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks
3.0

This story was pivotal when it was published in 1993 for showcasing the atrocities of World War One. Whilst I have decided through reading several of Faulks’ novels that they are not my cup of tea, I enjoyed the honest portrayal of this piece of history, and how it highlighted a range of consequences of the war. Read if you are brave, for this book can be very dark at times.
