Title: Birdsong.
Post by: chrischance on September 17, 2008, 08:23:53 PM

I wouldn't be surprised if this book isn't already posted, but I can't see it.
This is a most meaningful read and as you get further into the story each page begs the next.
Sebastion Faulks deserves an award for this book... he probably has one.

Hello Mac,
this book most certainly is a man's book, but equally compelling to women.
It is about a young man's experiences in France at the outbreak of WW1. The story will excite all people with a pulse and Seb Faulks' prose will impress his readers.
Chris.

Sebastian Faulks was made Author of the Year at the British Book Awards for 'Birdsong'. I don't think it made the Man Booker.
Alice Munro has just won the Man Booker. Great choice, great writer.
