"And the Birds Sang..." is Sebastian Faulks's most famous novel, becoming a classic of modern English literature. Since its publication in 1993, it has consistently ranked among the most beloved British literary works of all time. It is included in literature and English courses at most universities. The book has sold approximately two and a half million copies in the UK alone. It is the story of a young Englishman, Stephen Wraysford, who in 1910 arrives in the small French town of Amiens, where he falls in love with Isabelle Azaire. Unhappy in her unequal marriage, the young woman reciprocates Stephen's feelings. Unable to cope with their mad passion, they flee Amiens. War breaks out, and Stephen volunteers for the front, where, amidst the bloody chaos of global proportions, he desperately tries to maintain his sanity and the will to live. He records his feelings and thoughts in a diary, which he keeps in defiance of wartime prohibitions. Decades later, this diary falls into the hands of his granddaughter, Elizabeth. The circle closes – the past meets the present. This novel is a great writer's tribute to the memory of the First World War. It is about love and death, courage and suffering – about the destinies of people caught in the millstones of history.
