Title: Why We Give Thanks
Review: I read Birdsong several months ago and am still haunted by the images of doom and life that Faulks weaves. Those of us fortunate to have been protected from war by the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans until recently should experience this novel and its passionate descriptions of the unending Hell that was the trenches of WWI. While it could be depressing, Faulks gave me hope that brave men and women, no matter their nationality, freed us to carry on the values of liberty. Many left the war with deep psychological scars but allowed their successors to grow freely. Thanks to those who shared their lives as soldiers and as noncombatants.
