Birdsong

A bestseller in Britain, where it has been compared to A Farewell to Arms, this novel about a clandestine love affair between an Englishman and a Frenchwoman is set against the backdrop of World War I. It includes vivid, harrowing, unforgettable battle scenes and a fascinating look at a little known area of the war: the setting of underground mines below enemy lines via a series of secret tunnels.
