Birdsong

“No child or future generation will ever know what this was like, will ever understand”

As a young man, Stephen Wraysford was caught up in an all-consuming love affair in Amiens, France. As the First World War unfolds, Stephen finds himself pulled closer and closer back to Amiens, back to the Valley of the Somme. This is a tale of one man’s quest to understand how far mankind can go and still call itself human.

Birdsong tells a mesmerising and compelling story about courage, love, friendship and loss that is heartbreakingly beautiful, powerful and poignant and commemorates the centenary of the end of World War 1.
