Birdsong (novel)
''Birdsong'' is a 1993 novel by English author Sebastian Faulks. Faulks' fourth novel, it tells of a man called Stephen Wraysford at different stages of his life both before and during World War I. ''Birdsong'' is part of a trilogy of novels by Sebastian Faulks, together with ''The Girl at the Lion d'Or'' and ''Charlotte Gray''; the three novels are linked through location, history and several minor characters.
The novel came 13th in a 2003 BBC survey called the Big Read which aimed to find Britain's favourite book. It has also been adapted three times under the same title – for radio (1997), the stage (2010) and television (2012).
==Plot==
While most of the novel concentrates on Stephen's life in France before and during the war, the novel also focuses on the life of Stephen's granddaughter, Elizabeth, and her attempts to find out more about her grandfather's experiences in World War I.
''Birdsong'' has an episodic structure, and is split into seven sections which move between three different periods of time before, during and after the war. This is similar in many ways to the structure Faulks adopted in his later novel ''The Long White Winter''. Throughout ''Birdsong'' there are echoes of several war poets such as Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen.
